About us

Aeris Legal Pty Ltd offers a comprehensive, solution-focused approach to family law and contesting wills, providing clients with tailored legal representation in parenting and property matters. The firm supports clients through divorce applications, Family Provision Claims, and challenges to the validity of wills. In addition, Aeris Legal facilitates mediation services, including child-inclusive and online mediations across key regions such as Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, and Sydney. They assist law firms and sole practitioners with agency and consultancy services, offering court appearances, interim support on complex cases, and mentoring for junior solicitors. The principal of the firm, Katherine Guilfoyle, is an admitted solicitor in the Supreme Court of NSW and the High Court of Australia. As a nationally accredited mediator, Katherine brings extensive expertise and empathy to her practice, focusing on resolving matters economically and swiftly. In family law matters, Aeris Legal can negotiate parenting arrangements, which the Court evaluates based on criteria under the Family Law Act. Clients can choose between entering a parenting plan or consent orders, each with specific legal implications. Mediation is presented as a favourable alternative to court proceedings, providing a confidential space for parties to reach mutually satisfactory agreements. For those contesting a will, Aeris Legal assists with Family Provision Claims under the Succession Act 2006, ensuring clients understand their eligibility and the factors the Court considers when deciding a claim. The firm supports claimants who have been inadequately provided for and estates defending claims, offering strategic legal advice. Aeris Legal also guides clients in challenging the validity of a will, addressing issues such as testamentary capacity, undue influence, fraud, or improper execution, all underpinned by the Succession Act. With a focus on ensuring proper testamentary intent and compliance, Aeris Legal provides expert guidance through often complex and emotionally charged processes. Contact Katherine Guilfoyle at katherine@aerislegal.com.au or phone 0449 025 489 for further assistance.
