Rebecca Lee
I have been a Barrister for over twenty years, having a strong natural inclination towards dispute resolution. The skills I use on a regular basis include advocacy, negotiation, strategic thinking, and the provision of legal advice.
I appear in all courts and tribunals and work well in teams leading to the resolution of legal disputes as cost-effectively as possible. My legal practice to date has been varied, involving wills & estates, including family provision litigation; Corporations Act; taxation; employment law; and construction law matters.
I am active in the legal profession and have held formal roles with the Law Council of Australia; Australian Women Lawyers; the Legal Practice Board of WA; the Western Australian Bar Association; the Law Society of Western Australia (Inc); and Women Lawyers of WA (Inc).
In October 2025, I successfully completed my two-year appointment as a member of the Administrative Review Tribunal (formerly the Administrative Appeals Tribunal).
The Women Lawyers of WA (Inc) have recognised me for being an inspirational role model for other women within, or aspiring to, the legal profession, and providing leadership in the legal profession over a long period of time. I believe in equity for all and ‘lifting as you climb’.
