About Jacqui

With over two decades of experience, Jacqui Ion stands out as one of Adelaide's leading family lawyers. Her extensive career has been marked by a compassionate yet determined approach to achieving the best outcomes for her clients across South Australia and beyond. Known for providing exceptional legal advice, Jacqui expertly navigates the complexities of family law, a dedication that has earned her consistent recognition from Doyle’s Guide as one of Australia's top legal professionals. After graduating with honours in law and a psychology degree from the Australian National University in 1999, Jacqui began her career at Kelly and Co Lawyers in Adelaide. She focused on family and employment law, eventually leading both practice areas as a partner for several years. In 2015, Jacqui founded her own practice, Jacqui Ion Lawyers, where she continues to excel in family law, guardianship and administration, and employment law. Her practice is further enhanced by Rachel Sinclair, who brings expertise in wills, estates, and family law matters. Jacqui's commitment extends beyond her legal practice; she is a dedicated supporter of Minda, an organisation for people with intellectual disabilities. Her efforts were recognised with a South Australian Premier’s Award for creating the successful Minda Black Tie Quiz Night, an event that has raised substantial funds for the cause.
