Melanie Rubin

I practice exclusively in family law and have done so for the better part of the last 25 years. I have developed a reputation for resolving complex financial and parenting matters in a sensitive but structured way. You can rely on me to provide you with honest and practical advice.

Whether you are in the process of separating or needing to protect yourself with a pre-nuptial agreement you can be sure that I will look after your interests. I will keep you informed every step of the way and give you the tools to make sure you navigate your way through this difficult part of your life and ensure you move on with renewed energy and knowledge.

Being collaboratively trained and a Mediator assists me in being able to try resolve disputes using negotiation to work together and often avoid the need to go to court. These skills are utilised in all types of matters – property and children's matters. It's where you get to control the process and be in charge of writing your divorce story.

Doyle's Guide, an annual industry publication naming Australia's best legal firms and lawyers identifies me as a ‘Preeminent’ Parenting & Children’s Matters Lawyer (NSW). I am also ‘Recommended’ on the list of Leading Family & Divorce Lawyers, for Sydney.

I am a board member of Pacifica Congress, a member of the Family Law Section of the Law Council, the Law Society of NSW, Central Sydney Collaborative Forum, and a member of Collaborative Professionals (NSW).
