Offering a diverse range of legal disciplines, our professional team will support you and your family through life’s major milestones, events, and challenges. Led by Directors Leo Barry and Lindsay Ahern and backed by a highly experienced and compassionate team, we combine our individual knowledge to deliver the best possible result for our clients.
Practice Director/Lawyer
Leo was born and educated in Ireland. He holds a first-class honours degree in legal and business studies, as well as a postgraduate degree in law.
After graduation, Leo practiced as a general commercial lawyer before making the decision in 2012 to migrate to Australia with his then-fiancée, Lindsay Ahern, who is the Head of Commercial at Vibe. After a quick stopover in Las Vegas, Leo and Lindsay arrived in Perth as a newly married couple and have called Western Australia home ever since.
Before joining Vibe, Leo accepted a short-term role as a banking and finance lawyer with a national top-tier firm – an invaluable experience that helped him rediscover his passion for commercial law. Over the past decade, Leo has cultivated a collaborative approach to law and applies this methodology wherever possible for the benefit of his clients.
Head of Commercial Department
Lindsay graduated from the University of Limerick in 2002 and immediately launched her career as a Legal Executive. The training wheels came off in March 2008 when she was admitted to practice and has continued to excel as a commercial lawyer.
With a diploma in employment Law, Lindsay regularly assists clients with employee matters and acts for both employees and employers in Fair Work actions. Away from Vibe Legal and when not raising her and Leo’s three young daughters, Lindsay is proud to be the WA Chapter Vice President of the Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce and a member of the Perth Rose of Tralee committee.
At Vibe, Leo and Lindsay’s clients can expect practical and commercially focused advice as well as a personalised service that is both caring – and professional.

Family Law (property and parenting matters), as well as employment and commercial matters.
Outside of work, James enjoys cycling around the Swan River, and drinking Long Macs.
