Victoria Eastwood is the esteemed Principal Solicitor and Head of Family Law at Stanford Legal, bringing over two decades of accomplished legal experience. Originally admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales in 2010, Victoria made the strategic move to Australia in 2013, where she re-qualified and became a solicitor in the Northern Territory. Her career in Australia has been marked by a significant focus on family law, with her having previously served as the Legal Practice Director at a nationwide family law firm. Victoria's academic credentials are equally impressive, having earned her Bachelor of Laws and Post Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the University of the West of England, Bristol. She furthered her qualifications at Charles Darwin University to meet Australian legal practice standards. Her professional affiliations include the Queensland Law Society, the Family Legal Practitioner Association, and the Family Law Section, highlighting her commitment to the field of family law. Throughout her career, Victoria has established a robust track record in family law, family mediation, negotiation, litigation, and legal writing. Her leadership roles at both Genuine Legal and Hogan Stanton Lawyers have fortified her expertise and client-focused approach. Her earlier experience in employment law in the UK, including her tenure at DAS Law, laid a strong foundation for her adaptability and comprehensive legal knowledge. Beyond her professional achievements, Victoria enjoys spending quality time with her partner and their dog Mischka, exploring new destinations, and cherishing moments with family and friends. Her balanced life outside of work contributes to a well-rounded approach to client care and legal practice.
