About

Anna has practised exclusively in family law since 2010, beginning her career in Launceston before joining PWB Lawyers in 2018. Anna understands that every family is different. She takes the time to understand her clients’ circumstances, priorities and concerns, and works with them to identify a practical path forward. Where possible, Anna seeks to resolve disputes through negotiation, mediation and other less adversarial processes. Where court proceedings are required, she is a confident and experienced advocate who regularly appears in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Anna advises on property settlements for married and de facto couples, financial agreements before cohabitation or marriage and after separation, spousal and adult child maintenance, child support and divorce. Her parenting work includes recovery orders, relocation applications and matters involving serious allegations of risk or family violence. She has extensive experience in the careful drafting and negotiation of family law agreements and orders, including binding financial agreements, binding child support agreements, parenting arrangements and consent orders, designed to provide clarity and certainty for clients and their families. Her approach is grounded in practical advice, careful preparation and a genuine commitment to helping clients navigate family law. Anna is a member of the Family Law Practitioners Association of Tasmania and the Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia. She graduated from the University of Tasmania in 2008 with a combined Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws and was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Tasmania in 2009. Anna is listed in Doyle’s Guide as a Family Law Rising Star in Tasmania for 2026.
