Geovanna is an Accredited Specialist in family law with 17+ years experience as a solicitor., focusing on family law over the last 15 years and practicing exclusively in family law over the last 13 years. Along the way I have acquired not just family law experience but also commercial, trusts & property legal experience giving me an understanding of complex property, financial & commercial structures .

Geovanna specialises in:

– property settlements (basic, intricate & complex, and high net worth);
– parenting disputes (particularly high conflict, history of abuse/mental health issues and
relocation/international abductions);
– collaborative negotiations;
– divorce; and
– financial agreements (pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and de facto).

She is highly capable and known for her practical, pragmatic, compassionate, and no-nonsense approach to resolving legal issues. Geovanna prides herself on providing honest, sensitive, practical & structured advice.

Her focus is to work with each client to find quick, practical & hopefully amicable solutions to save them the emotional and financial cost of litigation. If litigation becomes necessary, she is a determined litigator, remaining calm & focused on the critical issues.  Geovanna aims to achieve the best result possible for each individual whether that be by negotiations, mediation, collaboration or litigation.
