From 1 July 2022, Hamish Cumming Family Lawyers will be joining the Farrar Gesini Dunn team at their Sydney office located at 2 Bligh Street Sydney. We are excited about this next chapter and the benefits this will provide all of our clients.
Kate Kensell and Julie Nessworthy have made the decision to join FGD as Directors due to the shared core values of providing tailored family law advice, having solicitors who conduct themselves with integrity and honesty, who charge client’s fairly and are dedicated to obtaining the best outcomes for their clients.
For over 20 years Hamish Cumming Family Lawyers has been operating as a boutique family law firm. Kate & Julie are passionate about providing personalised advice that is tailored to client’s needs, they have had a strong history of acting as Independent Children’s Lawyers in complex and difficult parenting matters. Our combined focus has been on keeping people out of the court system where possible and giving them control back over their lives by providing expert legal representation in parenting, financial, child support, and maintenance matters.
Kate, Julie and their Legal Assistants Joanne and Heather are looking forward to joining the FGD family and continuing to provide excellent and specialised family law advice. We are excited about offering current HCFL client’s access to a broader range of practice areas and working within a firm with a will and estates team, conveyancing team and accounting team with a strong emphasis on Collaborative Law and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
