Welcome to Questamon Legal

 

Forget everything you know about lawyers and law firms because here at Questamon Legal, we do things differently. 

 

We don’t measure our value in billable hours or layers of red tape. We’re all about solutions; plain and simple.

When you come to us, you’ll get advice straight from one of our senior lawyers who knows the construction industry inside out — not filtered through a chain of juniors or hidden behind jargon. We’re here to support you, guide you, and help make your contract work for you, not against you.

They are supported by a sophisticated team with international marketing, innovations and legal administration experience.

Laura is a registered adjudicator under the Construction Contracts Act 2004 (WA) and the Building & Construction Industry Security of Payments Act 2021 (WA) and presides over a wide range of construction disputes. 

Leonie Snepp 

Leonie is a construction lawyer with more than a decade of experience, and at Questamon she’s one half of the powerful duo alongside Laura. The two work seamlessly together — different strengths, same straight‑talking style — giving clients a balanced, practical and fast‑moving senior team they can rely on.

Leonie began her career at an international law firm under an industry‑leading partner before moving into a commercial contracts role with a global iron ore producer, gaining practical insight into how major projects really operate. After having two children, Leonie later refined her expertise at a leading boutique firm (now part of a national practice), working alongside partners consistently recognised in Doyles Guide for their construction law expertise.
