Our Family Lawyers
Gabriella is an Accredited Family Law Specialist and Collaborative Lawyer. She holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Bachelor of Business Administration. Gabriella has been a Partner of the firm since 2021.
Gabriella has worked in family law since 2011, firstly as a Legal Associate to a Judge in the Family Court of Australia (as it then was) and then as a lawyer. Gabriella's role as a Legal Associate allowed her to gain a unique insight into the workings of the Court, and develop a deeper understanding of the way Judges make their decisions. It also provided her with extensive exposure to Court room advocacy, and an understanding of how to be effective when dealing with the Court.
Gabriella has great empathy for her clients and is sensitive to their legal issues. She strives to minimise the emotional and financial stress clients can suffer during family law proceedings, providing a commercial and strategic approach to matters, and where possible, Gabriella will endeavor to resolve the issues without the intervention of the Court.
Gabriella is responsible for a wide range of family law issues for our clients including separation and divorce, parenting disputes and arrangements, property settlements, and de-facto relationship breakdowns. Gabriella has a particular interest in the resolution of complex financial matters including assisting high net worth individuals, and dealing with complex corporate and trust structures.
Gabriella is collaboratively trained and can provide this as an alternative approach for clients who wish to engage in a less adversarial approach to family law, working together with other collaboratively trained lawyers, coaches and child and financial specialists.
Doyle's Guide recognised Gabriella as a Rising Star in family law in the Australian legal market for 2018.
