Parramatta’s legal services sector is booming, with the largest concentration of courts and jobs outside Sydney’s CBD. But the region’s lawyers say a gap in resourcing means it’s not as easy to get justice as it should be.
“There’s a lot of demand, but it’s not being met,” says Warrick McLean, CEO of Coleman Greig Lawyers. He cites a lack of facilities, including a permanent Supreme Court presence in Parramatta, and the perception that central Sydney is more prestigious than western Sydney as some of the challenges.

Aleisha Nair, a senior associate at CK Lawyers who specialises in compensation and personal injury law, agrees. She says that a permanent Supreme Court in Parramatta would make it easier for clients to attend hearings, particularly those with serious injuries and disabilities. “Sometimes it’s an hour or more of travel for them to go into the CBD and they’re on heavy pain medication,” she says.
But the state government and NSW Opposition have declined to offer their support for the plan. A spokesperson for the NSW Opposition said the previous coalition government had made a significant investment in building up legal infrastructure and increasing access to justice across the state, including Parramatta.
