As a leading Family Law Accredited Specialist, Collaborative Lawyer and Parenting Coordinator, I act in a wide variety of matters concerning complex financial issues, family business arrangements, property settlements and parenting disputes. I am head of the Mills Oakley Sydney Family Law team and widely recognised for my contribution to the profession. I have been named again as a Recommended Family Lawyer (Sydney) by Best Lawyers, a Recommended Sydney Family & Divorce Lawyer and a Leading Family Lawyer (High-Value and Complex Property Matters) in the prestigious Doyle’s Guide.Many of my clients are high profile and high net worth individuals, including Australians living overseas and international clients, who are looking for a fast and effective resolution to their family law disputes, requiring a professional and discreet approach.My experience as a Board member allows me to apply my commercial knowledge to family law matters, untangling family business arrangements and complex financial structures alongside other professional advisers.I also act for parents in a wide range of parenting disputes including Hague Convention Applications for international child abduction, complex matters concerning parenting arrangements, child support and de facto relationship cases.With experience managing high conflict disputes in which one or both parties have been diagnosed with a personality disorder, I also act in matters that require me to recommend and implement strategies to effectively reduce conflict and allow clients to achieve the best possible outcome. Alternative Dispute ResolutionHaving a pragmatic and results-focused approach, I became one of the first fully trained Collaborative Family Lawyers in Sydney, and a Board member with the Greater Sydney Collaborative Family Lawyers, NSW Collaborative Professionals and the Australian Association of Collaborative Professionals. My ability to resolve disputes without resorting to costly and time-consuming litigation is well recognised. I also completed mediation training at Bond University in 2004. Parenting CoordinatorOne of the issues I am most passionate about is minimising the impact of post-separation conflict on children. As one of only a handful of trained Parenting Coordinators in Sydney, I am excited to be offering my services to parents who are finding it difficult to co-parent post separation due to conflict. In this role, I use my skills and expertise as both a mediator and family lawyer to educate parents, nurturing healthier ongoing communication and relationships.
