Ben Franklin

Managing Partner
LIV Accredited Specialist

Ben is the only Law Institute of Victoria Accredited Specialist in Property Law west of Geelong. This means he is your best option for legal inquiries if you live anywhere in the Ballarat or Greater Western Regions relating to property, complex estates, testamentary planning, commercial and litigious matters. Ben has experienced both rural and city-based practise, which combined with his specialisation gives him a unique experience set that allows him to adapt and apply his knowledge to any legal issue.

An experienced advocate, Ben appears regularly in the Victorian, NSW and Commonwealth Courts and Tribunals. He prides himself on being diligent and meticulous in his preparation, which is reflected in his record of achieving better than expected results for his clients in business advisory, debt collections, wills & estates disputes, insolvency matters, town planning, domestic & commercial building disputes and more.

Since his move from Melbourne to lead the firm into its next exciting phase, Ben has been delighted with the opportunity of providing professional service to the Ballarat and Western Victoria communities and mentoring a dynamic team to ensure that same level of service is available to all NWF Legal clients. 

At the same time, Ben’s practise continues to expand across the entire State of Victoria as well as interstate and he is happy to engage with new and existing clients in any location.
