I am an Accred­it­ed Spe­cial­ist in Fam­i­ly Law and have been work­ing exclu­sive­ly in the area since 2016. Hav­ing worked as a Legal Asso­ciate for two Judges of the Fed­er­al Cir­cuit and Fam­i­ly Court of Aus­tralia as well as a solic­i­tor in spe­cial­ist fam­i­ly law teams. I have exten­sive expe­ri­ence across all areas of Fam­i­ly Law.

I have an in-depth under­stand­ing of both lit­i­ga­tion and alter­na­tive dis­pute res­o­lu­tion and how to pur­sue each path­way to my client’s ben­e­fit. I prac­tice across Aus­tralia in all areas of fam­i­ly law includ­ing divorce, par­ent­ing, prop­er­ty, child sup­port, finan­cial agree­ments, adop­tion, and sur­ro­ga­cy. My goal in all of my mat­ters is to work close­ly with my clients to achieve the best pos­si­ble outcome.
