Our Launceston-based law firm doesn't shy away from complex or sensitive matters, whether they're family, civil, or property related.

If 40 years practicing law have taught us anything, it's that no two matters are exactly alike. Your case has its own unique challenges and risks.

We can:

  • Guide you though your separation
  • Settle your home purchase
  • Recover a debt
  • Dispute a Will
  • Advise on your property development
  • And more

With you for life

Bishops has been guiding the people of Launceston through their legal matters for over 40 years.

Bishops started as a sole practice in 1988.

Since then, we've grown into one of the largest law firms in the region, servicing clients around Tasmania, and sometimes even further afield.

Bishops is recommended by Doyle's Legal Guide as one of the top family law firms in the state, but our experience isn't the only thing that sets Bishops apart.

What really makes a difference is our unique and versatile staff. No matter what you're going through, we have an understanding professional who can guide you through it.
