What our clients say!
Ian is an experienced lawyer who listened and negotiated skillfully. He was always on the front foot, liaising with all parties. Ian refrained from promising certain outcomes, preferring to explain the process and manage expectations. Without his guidance everything would have been far more stressful and we are grateful for his assistance throughout the legal process.

I cannot recommend Ian Sampson as a lawyer enough. Not only was Ian very knowledgeable and practical when he assisted me, he was also very patient and empathetic. Further, he responded to my phone calls and emails quickly. He made me feel like my legal matter was very important. I am a lawyer myself, but the area of law that I asked for his help with was outside of my area of expertise.
Lawyer, Ian Sampson was a great help. He worked quickly, calmly and without fuss during a very stressful time. No drama or big performances! He got the best outcome I could have hoped for. I could not have been happier with Ian and the service provided. Thanks again Ian.

Jacob
Very professional service. I had Ian and the team look over my business contracts and gave me advice on how to simplify them and make them favourable to myself. The turnaround time was very quick and they agreed on fixed fees before commencing the work (which is rather unusual for lawyers). I would recommend Ian Sampson to anyone that wants a professional business advice and have peace of mind that everything is sorted from a legal perspective.

Hi Everyone,
I was going through a very horrible divorce and settlement the lawyer I had was hopeless and didn't seem to know what he was doing. I went to see Ian Sampson. He was brilliant and informative all the questions I had he had the answers too my whole settlement from start to finish was a 6 week turn around with no worries at all and not a lot of cost. I spent 18 months with my first lawyer with absolutely no steps forward and lots of money wasted. So, I would recommend him to do a fantastic and caring job. Ian Sampson is Brilliant.
Nicky

Behind the Name
Construction of the Roundhouse began in 1830 at the gateway to the Swan River Colony (a colony of free settlers) by Messrs Lewis, Manning and Duffield and opened January 1831.
Designed by Henry Reveley, purportedly inspired by Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon system of control and the Martello Tower coastal forts of Europe. The Roundhouse is a dodecagonal structure with eight cells and a jailer’s residents opening onto the central court yard constructed of locally quarried limestone from Arthur’s Head.
Built as a convict prison, the Roundhouse became the epicentre of law and law enforcement in 1835 when Western Australia’s first Courthouse was built alongside the Roundhouse. By 1837 there were up to 43 prisoners being held in the Roundhouse and in 1844 the Roundhouse became the site of Western Australia's first legal hanging of a European, the 15 year old convicted murderer John Gavin.
In 1850, a second Courthouse was built on the northern side of the Roundhouse and the Police Barracks were constructed at the bottom end of High Street. As more convicts arrived to boost the Colony’s labour force, the Roundhouse could no longer accommodate these new arrivals and the construction of a new prison was commissioned.
Today, the Roundhouse is the oldest public building still standing in Western Australia sitting on top of Arthur’s Head at Fremantle’s historic West End overlooking the Indian Ocean.
The Roundhouse is open for tours from 10:30 and 15:30 and the best time to be there is 13:00 hours for the traditional ‘setting of the chronometers’, signified by the 'firing of the cannon'. This maritime tradition was used to synchronise and check the visiting ship's time pieces to enable a more accurate determination of longitude and thereby improved navigation & cartography.
The Roundhouse is an iconic symbol of our beginnings as the State of Western Australia and the establishment of our Judiciary. I am proud of our humble beginning and honoured to share the Roundhouse name.
