Who we are
Hi, I’m Tom Trainor, Principal Lawyer at Trainor & Associates.
I’m a Melbourne-based solicitor who helps individuals, families and business owners navigate matters that sit at the intersection of property, disputes and life planning—from commercial and building disputes, to conveyancing and property transactions, to wills and estates.
My approach is straightforward: understand what you’re trying to achieve, give you clear options, and then execute a practical strategy that keeps you informed and in control. Some matters need a firm hand and a litigation mindset; others are best resolved through early negotiation and smart drafting. Either way, you’ll deal directly with me— not a call-centre, not a different lawyer every time.
Clients work with me when they want:
Strategic dispute resolution (pre-litigation through to court/tribunal work)
Commercial and property disputes, including lease issues and debt recovery
Property and conveyancing support, with careful contract advice and risk management
Wills, powers of attorney and estate administration, delivered with clarity and care
If you’d like a lawyer who is warm, responsive, commercially minded, and focused on outcomes, I’d be glad to help.
Contact Trainor & Associates to arrange a confidential discussion.
