McGregor in July 1993 before changing the name of the practice to Fiona McGregor Family Lawyer Pty Ltd in August 2019.

She completed her degrees in both a Bachelor of Arts (with a major in Medieval and Renaissance history-not particularly useful but a lot of fun) with a Bachelor of Laws and graduated from Monash University in April 1987.

She has overseen literally thousands of property settlements and countless arrangements for children in addition to Divorces and general family law advice.

In Family Law Fiona has worked on Children’s matters involving relocation including relocation to overseas countries; matters involving kidnapping including to non-Hague convention countries. Her work ranges from property matters with a modest asset pool to multi-million dollar asset pools, including family trusts, overseas assets, farming properties that have been in one party’s family for generations.

The scale and breadth of her Family Law works extends from straight forward divorces; child support agreements; financial agreements and reaching agreements through negotiations, mediation, collaborative meetings and also through the Court process. She has experience in reaching deals with married relationships, de facto relationships and same-sex relationships.

She has been passionate about keeping up with developments in the law and also the methods of best representing her clients throughout her career. If your matter would be best served by a mediated approach then she is a skilled and experienced negotiator but if a court application is the only viable and effect way forward, or you are the respondent to a court application, she is again, a skilled and experienced representative.

In addition to family law Fiona’s other areas of practice revolve around other matters of concern for families, namely, wills, powers of attorney, enduring guardians, and conveyancing to give effect to property settlements for her family law clients.
