About Kara

Kara Batchelor is a Collaborative Family Lawyer at Brisbane Family Law Centre (BFLC) who is dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of separation and divorce with a focus on achieving calm and respectful resolutions. With a comprehensive understanding of family law gained through her various roles at BFLC since 2021, Kara brings a unique blend of empathy and efficiency to her legal practice. After starting her career as an Administrative Assistant while completing her law and criminology degree, Kara progressed through the firm and was admitted as a lawyer in 2023. Her experience across multiple positions within the firm equips her with a holistic perspective on case management, allowing her to anticipate and address client needs at every stage. Currently based in London since 2024, Kara continues to support BFLC clients remotely, ensuring they receive consistent and thoughtful assistance. She is known for her clear communication and calm guidance, essential qualities during what can often be an overwhelming period for clients. Her flexibility in offering after-hours appointments seeks to accommodate individual schedules and time zones, enabling clients to feel supported and informed throughout the process. Kara's passion for collaborative family law is evident in her commitment to minimising conflict and prioritising respectful communication between parties. She is equally adept at handling more formal court processes when required, ensuring clients have the confidence and clarity needed to address complex legal disputes. Described by clients as calm, kind, and grounding, Kara prides herself on building strong relationships founded on trust and openness. She focuses on truly listening to clients, fostering an environment where they feel heard and understood, not merely advised.
