Hi, I’m Natalia.
I’m a Solicitor at Best Wilson Buckley Family Law.
Since 2021, I have been working in family law with BWB, drawing on my previous four years of experience in commercial litigation where I provided high-level support to various lawyers. This background has equipped me with valuable skills that continue to benefit my clients in family law.
As a family lawyer, I manage a comprehensive divorce portfolio and represent client’s navigating the domestic violence system. My role also encompasses a broad range of family law issues, including parenting and property matters.
I also offer a cost-effective approach by serving as a secondary point of contact on our senior lawyers client files, providing legal advice and drafting documents at a lower hourly rate. This strategy helps to reduce legal costs while maintaining high standards of service.
Why family law?
Like a surprisingly large number of my colleagues, I didn’t originally see myself working in family law when I started my law degree. However, after an opportunity in 2019 to be a Youth Member in the Queensland Youth Parliament’s Child Safety, Youth, and Women Committee presented itself, I knew I wanted to work in an industry that allowed me to make a positive difference. This experience came around at a really foundational time in my life, and it was eye-opening to witness the struggles that individuals face when going through separation and domestic and family violence in particular. So, after working in corporate litigation for almost four years and as I was nearing the end of my law degree, I decided to make a change and work in a field where I could see the tangible, encouraging impact my work was having on those who needed support the most. Looking back, I can say with certainty that I absolutely made the right decision.
