About our firm
Yanner Mann Dobson Law
An obstacle by definition is not a problem per se, it is something that obstructs or hinders progress.
There are obstacles in life that we each must plan for and navigate, such as the death of a relative, dealing with property, our own aging, complex business and personal relationships to name a few.
Yanner Mann Dobson Law is a law firm delivering modern legal services to clients across Victoria. We specialise in wills, powers of attorney, farm succession planning, retirement and lifestyle villages, property transactions and conveyancing.
Whilst our bricks and mortar based business is in Ballarat, we work closely with our clients, rural, interstate or local via technology, to ensure timely access to quality legal services without the need to travel. Knowing who we are and where we are located, clients have confidence engaging with us through technology.
Our most recent ownership chapter began in January 2016 when Georgia Yanner took over the reigns from Phillip Mann of Mann Dobson Lawyers. This firm was formed when Phillip merged his practice with that of Dobson Lawyers in 2005 shortly before the passing of the well respected Robert Dobson. We maintain the Dobson name due to our strong loyal Dobson client base and proud history in Ballarat.
We are dedicated to building long term relationships and offering accessible, client-centric service to guide you through all life stages. Whatever you legal problem we are a touch point to guide you to the right advice. We are your Lawyer for Life.
Meet Georgia
I’m Georgia, the Director of Yanner Mann Dobson Law.
I love solving problems, but even more I enjoy preventing them in the first place. I derive great satisfaction from doing a job well. I work openly and collaboratively with clients to plan for and navigate the legal obstacles that arise in their lives. Such clients include individuals, institutions, investors and farming families.
I am a direct communicator and strive to deliver relevant, efficient legal advice that my clients can understand and use. I offer flexibility in communications, using effective technology to reach and meet them when and where they need.
I can answer in the affirmative that I was born in Ballarat but I grew up in Melbourne. With many school holidays spent with family in the Mallee, it was no surprise that this city girl found her place in regional Victoria. I am incredibly happy to now be raising my own family in regional Victoria.
I am pleased to have cultivated my niche in the legal, and broader community with involvement as a school board director at Ballarat Grammar and previously Fiona Esey Cancer Research Institute, an organisation that is close to my heart.
