Over the centuries that the English Common Law has existed, some families have had a legal tradition with a son, and, in more modern times, a daughter following a parent in the practice of law.  In Michael Horan's case each of his four children chose the same profession as he had.

Michael Horan's connection with Geelong was originally as a partner in the firm of Ainsworth and Co.  He had previously worked in the Survey Section of the Land Titles Office.  He left that partnership and set up business in Elwood, Melbourne but retained some clients near Geelong at Lara and Portarlington where he had a branch office.  This office developed further and he practiced there more fully.  In the last few years of his life he disposed of that practice to Mr. Basil Ristevski of Drysdale but continued with him at Drysdale under the firm name of Ristevski Horan.
