Ann Pennefather is a dedicated family lawyer with extensive experience in assisting clients through challenging personal circumstances. Understanding that family law matters often coincide with difficult and emotional periods, Ann approaches each case with empathy and a focus on achieving fair and practical outcomes. Her practice emphasises resolving disputes amicably and efficiently wherever possible, aiming to avoid the stress and expense frequently associated with litigation. However, when negotiations are unsuccessful, Ann is prepared to initiate court proceedings and advocate assertively on behalf of her clients to protect their rights and interests. Ann provides guidance and representation in a range of family law issues including the division of matrimonial and de facto property, preparation and review of Binding Financial Agreements, obtaining consent orders related to children and property without court appearances, divorce applications, post-separation parenting arrangements, and claims for spousal maintenance. She is also experienced in mediation and arbitration processes to support alternative dispute resolution. Outside of her legal practice, Ann enjoys tending her garden and spending quality time with members of her family across multiple generations.
