I’ve been a Canberra family lawyer since 2009. I’ve worked at large and small private Canberra family law firms, and as Principal Solicitor of the Women’s Legal Centre ACT.

I’ve dedicated my career and further post-graduate study to improve and modernise the delivery of family law services. I’ve completed a Master-in-Applied Law (Family), completed an MBA on scholarship and was presented the ACT Law Society’s President’s Medal in 2022 for this work.

I’ve seen the huge difference the right legal support can make to someone’s future – their future parenting relationship, financial security and health.

I believe the right legal support means a new way of lawyering. A modern way to practice family law involves thinking bigger and focusing on how you deliver legal services, as well as being highly experienced family lawyers, to create brighter futures after separation and divorce.

We:

/ Make things easier. We use language (and graphics) you understand. We don’t write lengthy letters to you or your ex and create unnecessary conflict. We work with you to solve problems with practical solutions that work for you and your family.

/ Understand the issues and the solutions. Yellow Legal are skilled family lawyers who only practice in family law. We work with you to map out the next steps and help reduce conflict for better outcomes after separation and divorce. We don’t risk people’s time, money, energy and parenting relationships taking matters to court if there is a better way forward. We are leaders in trauma-informed legal practice and understand the dynamics of domestic and family violence and mental health issues when separating.

/ Are transparent. We are direct in our advice and support, including our pricing. We don’t play games with you or with your ex. We offer fixed-price services. This means we don’t charge in 6-minute increments and are up front about what services you are paying for.

/ Are affordable. We’ve priced our services to balance affordability with the cost of running a quality law firm.

/ Are flexible. We offer after-hours appointments, collaborative appointments with other professionals, and online appointments. You can even bring your well-behaved dog to your appointment if you want to!

/ Provide supports if you want them. We work with you and other professionals for better outcomes after separation and divorce, so you have the best support and don’t have to tell your story over and over again.

/ Are driven by impact and ethical practice. We think about the bigger picture and your and your family’s future. Yellow Legal also run social impact programs to improve outcomes for families after separation and divorce.
