About Jessica

Jessica Carney brings a wealth of experience and dedication to her role as a Consultant. A graduate of Murdoch University, she completed her Bachelor of Laws with Honours in 2011 and was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Western Australia in 2013. Jessica's journey in the legal arena commenced in 2008 within the Perth family law sector, where she gained valuable insights and experience even as a student. Her post-graduate career was further distinguished by her tenure as the Associate to two eminent justices at the Family Court of Western Australia, the late Honourable Justice Carolyn Martin and the Honourable Justice Brian Jordan. These roles provided her with an in-depth understanding of family law procedures and judicial perspectives. Jessica practises comprehensively across all areas of family law, though she harbours a particular interest in child-related matters and family dispute resolution. Her commitment to the practice is enhanced by her collaborative training, which she sees as an integral approach to resolving family disputes. Jessica is keen to contribute to the growth of collaborative family dispute resolution methods in Perth, reflecting her proactive stance on innovative legal solutions within the family law spectrum.
