Clear, commercially focused advice that helps business owners and investors manage risk and grow with confidence.


Built on clear thinking
Forbes Kirby is a Perth-based boutique commercial law firm
We work with growth-focused businesses, entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and their trusted advisers. Our focus is firmly on commercial outcomes: helping clients structure, protect, and grow. When necessary, we fight for what they've built.
Clarity through collaboration
The best outcomes happen when people work openly and thoughtfully together. At Forbes Kirby, collaboration is how we operate every single day. We share knowledge freely, communicate clearly, and treat every matter as a team effort, so nothing is ever lost or overlooked.
For our clients, that means continuity, consistency, and confidence at every stage of our engagement.
Professionalism without pretence
We bring discipline, focus, and care to everything we do; without any ego or unnecessary formality. We are solutions-driven and listen carefully to understand your situation properly, then concentrate on solving the problem rather than dwelling on it.
For us, being professional means being prepared, inclusive, and reliable, while still remaining approachable and human.
Integrity, always
Trust is built through honesty and consistency, and we don't take either lightly. We act ethically, speak plainly, and give advice that enables you to make informed decisions, even when the conversation is a difficult one.
We welcome questions, feedback, and differing perspectives, because we believe integrity is strengthened through openness.
Ownership and follow-through
We take full responsibility and ownership. Every matter is managed with care, accountability, and attention to detail, from meeting deadlines to keeping you informed along the way.
We don't cut corners, and we don't disappear once advice is given. We stay engaged, responsive, and committed to seeing things through to the right result.
