Welcome
Protecting your Interest. Saving you Money.
We understand that at first glance our motto may appear to be conflicting. The vast majority of people do not associate world-class legal service with the word “affordable.” At the foundation of Tan & Tan Lawyers is our belief that our clients deserve premium services without paying the extremely high costs that are normally associated with legal services. We are determined to demonstrate how our focus on providing true value for our clients has made us one of Western Australia most recommended law firms.
In our over 20 years of legal practice we’ve found that often clients are blinded by emotion or ”principles.” We consider it our job to ensure that each of our clients understands the concept of principle vs. costs. Equipped with this knowledge, clients are then able to look beyond the emotion of the situation and make solid choices that are best for their unique circumstances.
Tenacious. Responsible. Earnest.
Having served Western Australians for more than two decades, Tan & Tan Lawyers is one of the oldest Asian law practices in Perth. Though many aspects of our business have evolved since our early days, there is one thing that we will never change, alter, or modify – that is our unwavering focus on providing the best legal services that we can for each and every one of our clients. We are tenacious, responsible, and earnest in achieving our clients’ needs. We will not be outworked, outsmarted, or outmaneuvered when providing the wide range of legal services that our clients rely on us for.
Our Foundation. Our Future.
Raymond Tan, the owner of the practice, had a vision of creating a unique multilingual law firm in Western Australia, serving not only Western Australians, but also the rest of the world.
This ambitious goal has been achieved through his imaginative use of the Internet in the firm’s “Free Email Legal Advice Service” and also through interaction with other independent law firms worldwide. Raymond Tan is the founding member of “GAIL” the Global Affiliation of Independent Lawyers.
We are here to Serve You.
We look forward to being your only choice for all of your important legal services. Call us today and speak with one of our talented team members about how we can serve you best.

Tan and Tan have moved, hurray!!! See you at 6/78 Terrace Rd, Perth
Yes, it has taken a long time from September 2010 when the contract was signed for the purchase of 6/78 Terrace Rd, Perth to our final move on 4th June 2010.
Not everything that was designed by the fit out contractor, Interarch Homes, has been finished, but we are nearly there.
The move took place on 4th June 2010 with all staff lending a hand.
Here’s a picture of them having a lunch break at the park in front of the office.
We look forward to seeing you at the new office. I am told the new high tech toilet seat will be ready tomorrow. It is modelled after toilet seats in Japan with massaging sprays, deodorisers, warmwater cleaning, etc. the list just goes on. They know how to do it in Japan. I have brought a bit of Japan to Tan and Tan Lawyers. The only law firm in Perth or even the Western hemisphere with such a toilet.
The telephone number for the practice remains the same. The office is on the ground floor with Langley Park (where the Red Bull race is held) fronting the office. If you are coming down from the old office at Wellington St, just turn left into Bennett St and head towards the Swan River and drive till you reach Langley Park. Then turn right and you are there.
I will be pleased to welcome you to our new office and to share a cup of coffee with you.
Raising funds for the homeless
Raising funds for homeless in pyjamas
Lawyer to spend the night as a homeless person
Raymond Tan, the owner of Tan and Tan Lawyers has signed in to spend the night in Perth as a homeless person on Thursday, 17 June 2010.
The St Vincent de Paul Society is organising a Sleep Out for CEO’s to raise funds and awareness regarding homelessness. The first such event took place in Sydney last year. It is now a national event with CEOs sleeping rough on the same night Australia wide.
The sleep out for Perth will be taking place at the WACA whether it rains or not. There is a 55% chance of rain according to weather reports. The average temperature for 17 June 2006 was -7 degrees.
There are currently 82 registered CEOs for the event in WA. All participants are only allowed a sleeping bag. They may be given some cardboard if it rains. No food or alcohol is allowed.
Raymond has been a lawyer in Perth for over 20 years. He is also the only Asian public notary in WA. He has a beautiful wife and 2 young sons who he claims have been too privileged. Raymond himself comes from a poor family where he was the 9th child in a family of ten. His working class parents were lucky enough to be afforded public housing in Singapore.
There are 14,000 persons who are homeless in WA. That is a shame considering WA is a boom state because of the mining industry. However, public housing in WA has failed to keep up with the rising demands.
According to the St Vincent De Paul Society, there were 1334 home repossessions in WA in 08/09 compared to 686 cases in 07/08.
The global financial crisis and continued rising interest rates have not helped many families who are struggling and at the tip of being homeless. The most common reasons for homelessness relate to domestic and family violence.
The common misconception is that most homeless persons are middle aged men. In fact 44% of homeless persons are woman and 38% of homeless persons are under 35 years of age.
Raymond hopes to raise at least $5000 in donations. He just registered as a participating CEO on 6 June 2010 and has already raised $1170 within 24 hrs.
Like Raymond, let us appreciate what we have in life and be thankful that each night we live in the warmth of a home with a roof over our head. In our comfort, spare a thought for many out there: men, women and children, whom due to no fault of theirs, end up cold, hungry and homeless.
Please help Raymond to help provide some comfort to the homeless of Perth by visiting

to make a donation.
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
Please, help Raymond and the St Vincent de Paul Society to help the homeless of WA.
Tan and Tan Lawyers receive accreditation as a Quality Practice
The Law Society of Western Australia’s Quality Practice Standard
As part of Tan and Tan Lawyer’s corporate aim of constantly evolving and improving, we have been awarded a Quality Practice Standard accreditation on 17 August 2010.
The Law Society of Western Australia developed the Quality Practice Standard to recognise WA Law firms that strive to provide superior service standards to their clients by implementing regulated internal procedures and practice to better protect and serve the interest of their clients.
Of a list of over 190 law firms that have applied, there are only 43 WA firms that have been accredited. Tan and Tan Lawyers have become the 44th law firm in Perth to be accredited. The accredited firms have all gone through a lengthy process of streamlining and implementing internal procedures to ensure their services remain at a consistent high standard.
We have also been honoured as one of only 2 law firms that receive accreditation on their first attempt.
The Quality Practice Standard exceeds the legal requirements of the State laws regarding the operation of law practices.
Tan and Tan Lawyers’ authorised use of the QPS Logo means that clients are assured that Tan and Tan Lawyers maintains a high standard of service.
The law firms which have been accredited are audited each year to ensure that they remain compliant with the standards.
