DIRECTOR

Aaron has been practicing in the Family Law jurisdiction since 2000 when he first began in legal practice.

Aaron takes a pragmatic and commercial approach to the practice of Family Law.  He endeavours to arm clients with the information they require in order to resolve matters themselves where possible. 

When legal intervention is required, Aaron tries to limit the issues in dispute so that parties can settle their Family Law matter as quickly as possible to enable them to move on with their lives. 

Aaron draws upon his years of dealing with diverse range of family units in advising clients and to come up with creative solutions to often complex and difficult problems. 

Aaron can provide tailored advice on a wide variety of matters including:

- The appropriate distribution of a couples’ assets;

- Care arrangements with respect of the children of the relationship;

- Child Support, including Child Support Agreements;

- Spousal maintenance, including appropriate support for parties pending the finalisation of their matter; and

- Financial Agreements, including those to be entered into prior to the commencement of living together, during the relationship or after a separation.

Aaron prides himself on being solution focussed and circumventing unnecessary conflict for parties which only adds unnecessary stress to what, for clients, is usually already a stressful process.

SENIOR ASSOCIATE

Kate was admitted to practice in 2017 after completing a Bachelor of Arts and the Juris Doctor at the University of Melbourne. Over the course of her legal career Kate has worked with all manner of family law clients. She began her career as a private family law practitioner working at a mid-tier law firm in the Melbourne CBD for a number of years. Kate then stepped into a role at Victoria Legal Aid where she assisted vulnerable Victorians to navigate a range of legal issues including family violence and family law. She joined Canterbury Family Law as a Senior Associate when the firm was established in 2024.

Central to Kate’s practice is her focus on resolution. She strives to find the most pain-free and dignified path for her clients to reestablish themselves following separation. Kate guides her clients sensitively through the family law process, using mediation and litigation strategically as required. She has experience across all areas of family law; empowering clients to establish child-focused parenting arrangements, negotiating the division of property interests including where the family’s financial affairs are complex and meticulously drafting financial and child support agreements.

When she’s not working, Kate can usually be found up a ladder renovating her home, chasing after her three young children or trying to relax reading a magazine, in the bath or binge-watching trashy TV (sometimes all three at once).
