While the legal profession is full of accomplished and dedicated individuals, every so often, one stands out from the crowd. We are pleased to share that our Doug Solomon has once again been recognised by Best Lawyers and, together with the firm Solomon Brothers, included in the 2024 edition of The Best Lawyers in Australia™ for Real Property Law, with a specific focus on Property Development.

We are extremely proud of Doug, who is known for his passion and dedication towards supporting his clients on an international, national, governmental, and local level. The peer-reviewed accolade also stands as a testament to Doug’s continued recognition throughout the legal industry, and we are grateful to have him on our team.

Introducing Doug Solomon

As one of the founding partners of the firm, Doug Solomon is a company treasure, with his devotion and commitment to justice and service being at the very heart of who Solomon Brothers are, as well as what we stand for.

Doug has forged an esteemed career since first being admitted into the legal profession in 1979, and has extensive experience in a host of different areas of law.

A notable level of this experience lends itself to property law, where Doug is well-versed in consulting on everything from real property law, property planning and development law, strata titles law, to conveyancing and settlements, and leasing.

Outside of property law, Doug also has a vast amount of experience in the areas of commercial law, insolvency, planning and environmental law, franchising and administrative law (both with respect to commercial negotiation and drafting and with respect to commercial litigation and other types of dispute resolution).

Giving Back

Doug is very big on giving back to the legal community and, as a member of the Property Law Committee of the Law Society of Western Australia for more than 30 years, was regularly involved in reviewing legislation and proposed legislation on behalf of the Law Society in the public interest.

Doug has also provided many years of pro bono legal advice and assistance to various charities and not-for-profit organisations.
