About Eve

I have practised family law in England and Australia, and I am qualified in both jurisdictions. Having moved to Melbourne with my family after many years living overseas as an expat, I understand the challenges of building a new life. I particularly enjoy helping clients whose families, assets or future plans cross borders. As a mother of two active boys, I know that family life rarely fits neatly around legal proceedings. Becoming a parent deepened my understanding of what is at stake in a separation and led me to train as a Collaborative Family Lawyer. That training allows me to offer clients a constructive choice where it is appropriate, alongside clear and strategic advice when litigation is necessary. I advise on all aspects of separation, with a particular interest in complex property matters. I often work with clients who need to make sense of substantial family wealth, business interests or financial arrangements they have not previously managed themselves. My approach is practical and thorough: I want clients to understand their position, make informed decisions and feel confident about the way forward. Outside work, I spend as much time as I can outdoors with my horse, Dash and watching the boys play rugby. I enjoy working with clients from the equestrian community across the Mornington Peninsula and beyond.
