Barbara is the founder and principal of the firm, which has been in business for 20 years. Barbara is in her third decade of practice as a lawyer and has been an Accredited Family Law Specialist since 2002 and an Arbitrator since 1997.

Barbara understands the importance for all lawyers to have access to best practices, workable innovations. These should not just be the purview of large firms.

​

Multi-million estate and family law matters with multiple trusts, properties and a multitude of parties to looking after your family’s very personal legal requirements “from before the cradle until after the grave”.

Now, from managing a sizeable firm with nearly 20 staff and several lawyers, the time has come to leave behind the 15-hour days / 6 days a week to part time work three days a week (unless doing locum work or travelling to clients) serving clients with the professionalism, knowledge and empathy to which the many lawyers I have trained were taught to aspire.

Although based in the Australian Capital Territory, I am available for online work with clients all over the country and world as well as free to travel to rural areas and cities ensure that all our clients, no matter where they are, have access to sound legal advice.

I am focusing primarily on serving the regions in Mediating Family and Estate Law disputes, Arbitrating Family Law matters or part thereof, some locum work, much Estate Law and select Family Law work.

As a STEP member I have access to international Estate Lawyers and advisers and thus continue to manage international matters as well as focusing on advising my lovely local clients who may just need to update their Wills.

One can never be complacent about education. I obtained a Masters in Estate Law and, while serving in the Navy as a legal officer, a Diploma in Military Law.

I am an Accredited Arbitrator and Family Law Specialist and trained in Mediation with several august bodies including the Advanced Mediation Course at Bond university.

While I shall still look after the needs of generations of my clients and pass on the expertise and ethics to the next generation, I now enjoy more swimming for exercise, kayaking, bike riding with ‘the gang’, golf, the erudite book club with even more reading, writing and above all, enjoy time with, and the exquisite love of my 4 (soon to be 5) grandchildren.
