Slee Anderson & Pidgeon Lawyers Bunbury was established by Frank Dilloway Slee in 1919.  We’ve seen the Great Depression in the 1930’s, the post world war two boom, watched the constitutional crisis unfold in 1975, endured the 1987 stock market crash, stood strong in the global financial crisis of 2007 and seen the resources booms come and go.

Since 1919, the Slee Anderson & Pidgeon team has been providing exceptional and professional leading class services to individuals, businesses and local governments in Bunbury and surrounding areas; delivering personalised advice, strategies, security and peace of mind in all legal matters.
