About Shane McClure

Empowerment, Support, Devotion.

Shane McClure is a Melbourne lawyer and nationally accredited mediator. For more than two decades he has helped people through some of the hardest moments of their lives: relationship breakdowns, disputes over children and property, criminal charges and intervention orders.

Admitted to practice in 2010, Shane holds a Master of Laws (Family Law), a Bachelor of Laws from Monash University and a Bachelor of Arts from La Trobe University. He is an accredited mediator under AMDRAS and an accredited Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, so he can help families settle matters without going to court where that is safe and possible, and stand beside them firmly when it is not.

Shane was the founding principal of McClure Law in Sunbury from 2012 to 2019, and today practises in Melbourne, appearing in courts across Victoria.
