I am a Partner at Vizzone Ruggero Twigg Lawyers where I practise both as a senior family lawyer and as a mediator.

I hold National Accreditation as a Mediator (NMAS) and am specially trained to mediate all types of disputes, however I primarily mediate in the family law arena. I also hold a Masters Degree in Applied Family Law.

My personal nature is that I am a careful listener, a perceptive, caring, compassionate and considered person, which allows me to bring a unique understanding and empathy to mediations particularly those involving children’s and other sensitive issues.

Whilst my role as a mediator is impartial and I cannot provide parties with any legal advice in mediations, you can be completely confident that as well as the specialised  skills and training I have as a mediator, as a practising family lawyer, I also have knowledge, experience and insight in all aspects of family law, including parenting issues, relocation, child support, financial property settlements, inheritances, complex issues relating to trusts, corporate entities and self-managed super funds.

I also have extensive experience in and have appreciation for the delicacies and sensitive issues in matters where there is family violence, mental health issues, drug and alcohol issues, as well as specific experience in Child Protection matters, advising private clients in Children’s Court matters practise.
