Key Responsibilities:
Amanda has extensive practical experience in family law. She has managed a high-volume caseload involving divorce, child maintenance, and parental responsibilities and rights.
Her work focused on both mediation and litigation support. She facilitated dispute resolution in sensitive matters, guiding parties toward fair and workable outcomes, while also drafting court pleadings and managing legal processes where matters proceeded through court.
She regularly drafted and negotiated divorce settlement agreements, addressing division of assets, maintenance, and parental responsibilities. She assisted clients with maintenance claims, including assessing financial disclosures and structuring appropriate contributions, as well as supporting matters through the maintenance court process.
A key aspect of her role was drafting parenting plans, structuring care and contact arrangements and decision-making responsibilities, always with a focus on the best interests of the child and long-term sustainability.
She worked directly with clients in high-conflict situations, adopting a practical, solutions-driven approach aimed at resolving matters efficiently and minimizing litigation where possible.
In her current role as Deputy Legal Officer, I support a company with US-based operations aligned to Florida (EST) hours, where she drafts and reviews agreements, advise on legal risk, and support cross-border operations within a remote working environment.
