Yassamin Olson

Criminal Lawyer

Yassamin was admitted to the Supreme Court of Western Australia in 2018, earning recognition as the youngest lawyer to be admitted in the state at that time. With a commitment to justice and advocacy, she has held several associateship roles, working closely with Judges of the District and Supreme Courts of WA, where she developed a nuanced understanding of the judicial system.

Passionate about human rights and humanitarian law, Yassamin has contributed her legal acumen on a global scale, taking her skills to the Human Rights Council at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland and the International Criminal Court in the Hague, the Netherlands. These experiences have deepened her commitment to advocating for those whose voices may otherwise go unheard.

Prior to joining Timpano Legal, Yassamin specialised in criminal litigation at the Aboriginal Legal Service of WA, appearing in the Magistrates, Children’s, District and Supreme Court of WA. In addition to her practice, she has taught Criminal Law to Juris Doctor students at the University of Western Australia.

Her fervour for advocacy drives her to achieve the best possible outcomes for her clients, as she stands by their side every step of the way, ensuring they feel supported and understood throughout their legal journey.
