LEADING LAWYERS Necia likes to take a different approach to getting the best solutions for clients
The KJB Law team.
FALCON Legal is all about looking at problems in a holistic manner, says managing partner Necia Wearne.
Law firm keeps building on its long history of hard work ONE of Canberra’s longestrunning law firms, KJB Law has gone from strength to strength, and is currently a finalist in the Local Business of the Year category in the Canberra Region Local Business Awards, says practice manager Sue Hayes. KJB Law’s conveyancing manager Karen Watt has also won an award, the 2019 REIACT Conveyancer of the Year, after working for the firm for more than 13 years.
But going back further, KJB Law was established in 1978 by sole practitioner Ken Johnston, who was joined by Allan Bedford the following year, before the firm was named Ken Johnston Bedford & Co in January 1981, to provide quality legal services at affordable prices. And even though both Ken and Allan have retired, Sue says the firm continues to provide quality legal advice on everything from estate planning, residential property sales and purchasing, family law to retirement village entry. “We have an excellent office culture and
retention of staff,” says Sue, who’s been there for 38 years. “We’ve always been based in Woden and our current office in Corinna Street has plenty of space for the growing team. We have 28 staff, including nine lawyers and two conveyancing managers.” Sue says the three principals of the firm, Jo Twible, Andrew Freer and Des Moore, all work hard and care about the clients and people they work with.

Located in Holt with free, accessible parking and only a two-minute walk from the Kippax bus interchange, Falcon Legal was established 15 months ago, with a goal to look at everything from a different perspective to see how the team can help the client in the best possible way, Necia says. Covering most areas of law, with a focus on conveyancing and wills and estates, Necia says they make things easier for clients to get a solution. “We can give initial advice in any general area of law and if we don’t have expertise we will find someone who does,” she says. For people who need help through the probate process after someone dies, Necia says Falcon Legal can also look after the paperwork involved.
