Kate Hamilton

Spear’s Review

Nominated for the Spear’s Family Law Index by several of her peers, Kate Hamilton of Russell-Cooke is described as ‘a strong lawyer’ and a ‘sensible practitioner’ who is ‘easy to work with and pragmatic in her approach’. She specialises in acting for lawyers, barristers and financial professionals, and has a niche in practice tackling disputes and relationship breakdowns between property owners.

Hamilton also has expertise in acting for family members who need to intervene in the divorce of their children or siblings, advising unmarried parents in making claims for the benefit of their children, and undertaking complex children work such as leave to remove applications.

An accredited mediator, she can hold shuttle, hybrid and solicitor-attended mediation and is a proponent of non-court dispute resolution where possible.
