Madeleine Stevens is a lawyer at Shore Lawyers, joining the firm in October 2023. She holds a Bachelor of International and Global Studies and a Juris Doctor from the University of Sydney. Madeleine’s practice focuses primarily on wills and estates litigation, including family provision claims and contested probate matters. She also provides support in broader areas of family law, employment law, and general litigation, including drafting wills and handling probate applications. Her commitment to improving access to justice was shaped by over three years of experience as a paralegal with organisations offering pro bono legal assistance. This background has given her insight into the challenges clients face when dealing with complex legal issues after the loss of a loved one. Madeleine approaches each matter with diligence and empathy, aiming to guide clients through difficult situations with clarity and care.
