Jamie Blair 
Associate, Bunbury
Commercial Law
Being straightforward, honest and approachable for clients is something that makes Jamie Blair a pristine associate at Slater & Gordon. What attracted Jamie to this area of the law was the challenge and wide scope of opportunity within the South West to assist businesses to develop ‘safely’ and to stay on track in terms of their legal rights and obligations within the community.
Jamie typically represents large and small business, sole traders and individuals. “A very broad clientele come through the door on a daily basis”. The variety of matters that Jamie is typically involved in range from commercial litigation, leasing, drafting commercial documents, wills & estates, commercial advice, employment law and construction contracts.
The aspects of legal practice that give Jamie the greatest satisfaction in doing his job include being able to assist clients in making well informed decisions as well as providing services to clients that you can see are directly contributing to the success of their business.
Jamie believes that it is important to be creative and respectful when working in this sector as on many occasions it is the client’s livelihood that is being dealt with.
"It is a great feeling to be able to clear the muddied legal waters for a client and to then hear or see a client express in their own way a new understanding of previously puzzling legal concepts." - Jamie Blair
