Hi, I’m Sara
I’ve been a lawyer for over 16 years with a focus on alternative dispute resolution and complex litigation. I’m also a qualified arbitrator.
I have a global reputation for blending empathy and legal simplicity with the latest technology to produce results for my clients. My focus has always been on the human issues, not just the legal ones. I hold a Masters of Law (disputes) from University of London and I’m an Adjunct Associate Professor at UoN. I’m a delegate to the United Nations and the ICC for AI in law.
I help clients with matters in business law and family law.

Hi, I’m KAYLA
I’m a dedicated and compassionate Family Law Lawyer and NMAS Accredited Mediator. I’m committed to helping clients navigate some of life’s most challenging moments with clarity and care. I focus on achieving fair and practical outcomes that protect our clients’ best interests while minimising conflict wherever possible. I combine professionalism with empathy; legal matters often intersect deeply with personal lives, and I’m passionate about supporting clients through every step of the process.
I provide holistic guidance across a range of areas that tend to overlap with family law. I help clients with Wills and Estate Planning, Criminal Law, Children’s Court matters and Conveyancing.
