Whyte Just

Offering the Geelong region legal services since 1877 Whyte, Just & Moore has a large team of lawyers, experienced conveyancing and probate paralegals and support staff providing clients with a full range of legal services. The firm islarge enough to provide services in a broad range of law, but small enough to provide continuity and personal service unlike many larger firms.

The practice dates from 1877 when Thomas Napier Whyte opened his office at 74 Yarra Street, Geelong.

After his admission A.V.J. Just commenced practice under his own name in Malop Street, Geelong and on 1 May 1896 entered into a partnership with Frederick William Drummond Moore under the name “Just & Moore”.

In 1904 Just & Moore purchased Whyte’s practice and the merged firm has practised under the name of “Whyte Just & Moore” at 27 Malop Street from that time.

Moore retired in 1915 and Just continued in practice until 1952.

In 2007, the firm of Peter A. Bain merged with Whyte, Just & Moore. Peter Bain retired in 2013.

The present Principals of the firm are Geoff Reeve (1980), John Butler (1995) and Aaron Jolly (2015).
