Andrea Staples

With a firm foundation in estate planning and administration, I am dedicated to providing practical and sound legal guidance to clients. My approach ensures that their estate plans align with their desired outcomes while facilitating a seamless administrative process after death. I have a rich and diverse background in law, starting with my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Australia. I progressed through the rigorous 5-year articled Clerk Scheme via the Barristers Board, leading to my admission as a Barrister and Solicitor in 1994. This was only the beginning of my varied legal journey; I later moved to Cairns, where I was admitted as a Solicitor in Queensland. Over the course of a decade there, I honed my expertise in criminal law, family law, and estate matters. My career then took me to Hong Kong, broadening my legal perspective and skills before I ultimately returned to Western Australia. I am now proud to be a part of the esteemed team at Slee Anderson & Pidgeon, having joined in 2015. As a Bunbury local, I am deeply committed to offering quality legal advice from the very start, capitalising on my extensive experience and understanding of the intricacies involved in estate-related issues.
