About Anna

With 36 years of experience across private practice, government, and the corporate sector, Anna Carthew brings a comprehensive perspective to her role as Principal at Ballarat Legal. Her approach centres on preventative law, aiming to identify sustainable and healthy solutions to legal issues before they escalate. Anna is committed to providing clear, concise advice tailored to each client’s needs, with transparent fixed-price arrangements or other flexible costing options. This approach reflects her belief that legal services should reduce stress rather than add to it, ensuring clients can focus on their lives and businesses without worrying about unpredictable fees. At Ballarat Legal, Anna has fostered a client-focused culture that moves away from traditional billing methods, providing same-day responses during weekdays and prompt attention to weekend enquiries. This fresh approach, combined with her extensive experience, ensures that clients receive practical, effective legal support designed around them.
