Legal Team

I completed a course named Collaborative Practice held by the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. Collaborative law uses a different approach to resolving disputes without involving litigation; the focus is on the parties being able to reach an agreeable solution to their particular issues. One of the many positive aspects of Collaborative Law is the parties make their own decisions rather than having a Judge make a decision, which either one or both parties disagree with.

Within specialising in family law,  Jessica can assist with care of children and guardianship disputes, family violence, matters involving Oranga Tamariki, estate matters, and relationship property, whether that be by way of Contracting Out Agreement for asset protection, or separation.

Jessica regularly appears in various Family Courts across Auckland and has the skillset to represent clients through the Court process if necessary, or through mediation and negotiations. Jessica accepts both private and legal aid instructions and is a lead provider for legal aid services.

Jessica respects that clients are experiencing one of the most stressful and challenging times in their lives, and she is committed to providing transparent advice to reach a pragmatic resolution.
