Commercial Litigation Property Lawyers

Proud History, Bold Future, Since 1834

Amelia Higgs

Principal

I specialise in family and relationships law. I advocate for out-of- court resolutions through mediation and collaborative practises, but I regularly and confidently appear in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.

I believe in helping my clients to find solutions that are realistic, pragmatic and tailored to individual needs. I embrace alternative dispute resolution methods including mediation and collaboration. I pride myself on providing clear communication, holistic support and timely advice.

 

Additionally, I am routinely appointed by the Court to represented young people in contested parenting disputes as an Independent Children’s Lawyer.

 

I am currently the Vice President of the Law Society of Tasmania and have served on its council since 2021. I also sit on the board of Dress for Success Tasmania, and coordinate the delivery of family law training at the Centre for Legal Studies. I’m a proud community ambassador for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

 

I am an avid gardener, bushwalker, dopamine dresser, and bookworm.
