About Mercedes

Mercedes Castrikum is Principal Solicitor and Director with over 12 years of diverse legal experience. She has worked extensively on building and construction disputes, complex property matters, business and corporate transactions, contract law, consumer and corporate issues, dispute resolution, estate litigation, wills and estates, elder law including aged care matters, leasing, and conveyancing. Mercedes regularly represents clients in courts and tribunals, providing practical and clear guidance on their legal options. Originally from Lismore, NSW, Mercedes’ background in a close-knit regional community has instilled in her a strong commitment to building and maintaining positive relationships with clients. After graduating in 2012, she completed an internship with the Department of Family and Community Services and contributed several years of volunteer legal services at her local Community Legal Centre, including assisting coal seam gas protestors as part of their defence team. Mercedes’ approach is centred on delivering practical advice in plain English, enabling clients to understand complex legal issues and make informed decisions. Prior to her legal career, she spent over two decades in the accommodation industry on the Gold Coast, specialising in management rights. During this time, she earned the Receptionist of the Year award for South East Queensland and obtained a Resident Letting Agents Licence. Balancing a busy family life with her professional commitments, Mercedes lives with her husband Craig and their three children, along with two grandchildren. She is also dedicated to community service as an active member of the NSW State Emergency Services. Outside of work, Mercedes enjoys live music, dancing, basketball, 8 ball, Pilates, and spending time walking and socialising in the local towns of Lismore, Bangalow, and Byron Bay.
