About Tanya

Tanya is a dedicated and empathetic lawyer admitted to practice in both the Supreme Court of South Australia and the High Court of Australia. Her journey into law was driven by a genuine desire to assist families navigating the often challenging periods of separation, motivated by her early experiences as a Clerk in a family law Chambers. This background provided her with extensive knowledge and insight into the intricacies of family law processes. Balancing the responsibilities of raising four young children, Tanya pursued her law degree with a clear vision of making a meaningful impact in the legal field. Upon completing her studies and admission to the Supreme Court, Tanya began practicing in the areas of family law and wills and estate law. She has developed a nuanced understanding of how these areas interrelate, allowing her to provide comprehensive and insightful legal advice tailored to her clients' specific needs. Her approach is both client and outcome focused, grounded in an empathetic nature that ensures her clients feel listened to and supported throughout their legal journey. In addition to her professional life, Tanya is actively involved in her personal passions outside the office. She can often be found cheering on her children at local football matches and dance concerts, or nurturing her veggie patch in the garden. Tanya's expertise encompasses a wide range of matters, including property settlement, parenting disputes, divorce applications, intervention orders (IVO), wills and estate planning, and probate and estate administration. Her comprehensive legal knowledge and compassionate approach make her an invaluable advocate for those she represents.
