I listen carefully to my clients to ensure I understand their concerns, priorities and expectations. My experience in other areas of law including criminal law, domestic and family violence, immigration law and civil and commercial disputes gives me a greater understanding of the broader issues that can arise in family law matters. I combine my extensive professional knowledge with a strong determination to ensure each client achieves the best possible outcome, whether that be through practical and focused negotiations or litigation. I am driven by the desire to achieve the best possible outcome for my clients.
Senior Associate
Having worked in family law since 2018, I have gained valuable experience in a broad range of family law matters since this time including property/financial disputes, parenting/children disputes, divorce, spousal maintenance, child support, domestic violence, relocation, contravention and matters with international elements.
I am adept at problem solving and strategic thinking to achieve the best outcome for my clients. My strong preference is to assist my clients to settle their family law disputes as quickly, inexpensively and efficiently as possible through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or other collaborative law processes. However, if litigation becomes necessary, timely action will be taken to protect my client’s position.
I have experience in and especially enjoy working on matters with a high degree of complexity, including matters with international elements.
My background in business (accountancy) allows me to approach complex property/financial disputes from a unique perspective.
In addition to family law, I have experience working in other areas of law including administrative law, immigration law, criminal law, domestic violence, conveyancing, employment law and civil law matters, all of which have enabled me to become a better and more well-rounded lawyer. My experience in a variety of areas of law gives me a greater understanding of the broader issues that can arise in family law matters.
