Welcoming our new team member, Olivia Gesini, Collaboration Specialist.
Phelps Reid Foster Johnson Lawyers are thrilled to announce that Olivia Gesini has returned to collaborative family law practice as a member of our team. Farrar Gesini Dunn (of which Olivia was a founding partner in 1995) welcome and support Olivia in this endeavour and are equally excited about what this announcement means for clients caught up in the family law system who wish to find a better way to separate.
Olivia has over 30 years’ legal experience and brings her well known energy and specialised skills in family and collaborative law to build our focus on collaborative settlement of family law matters. Olivia will work with other collaborative practitioners including Juliette Ford and the team at Farrar Gesini Dunn.
The high level of trust and respect between Olivia and Juliette in particular is an excellent foundation for the success of collaborative settlements, especially in difficult family law matters which require sophisticated handling, tenacious effort and creative solutions. This private settlement pathway is our two firms’ response to the unsatisfactory, under resourced and delayed family law system. It is a pathway that provides clients with control of their legal process, their outcomes and their legal costs in a timely way. Collaborative law is protective of both the parties and their children. It ensures client confidentiality with no compromise on vigorous advocacy for each party.
Olivia can be contacted via email at ogesini@phelpsreid.com or via telephone on 02 6248 8477.
