Katherine Guilfoyle

Senior Associate Solicitor

Katherine is a Senior Associate Solicitor whose primary areas of practice include family law and estate disputes.

Having completed her Bachelor of Biomedical Science degree in 2012, Katherine found the medico-legal courses sparked her interest in the law and her eventual transition into the legal profession. Katherine went on to complete a Bachelor of Laws at Newcastle University in 2015 and she simultaneously completed her Diploma of Legal Practice.

Katherine understands that clients are often experiencing a difficult and stressful period in their lives when seeking legal advice. She takes her time to speak with her clients and to understand what is important to them. Katherine has a solution and strategy focused approach to resolving disputes as fairly, as quickly and as economically as possible. Katherine considers herself to be a “solution-focused” solicitor who applies an interest-based approach to negotiation with the intention of assisting clients to resolve their matter by consent, if possible. If the matter is unable to settle by agreement, Katherine is a strong advocate for her clients in Court.

Through her pragmatic approach and empathetic nature, Katherine is able to provide clients with advice tailored to their circumstances, to obtain the best possible outcome in their matter.

When asked about working at Next Legal and Conveyancing, Katherine said she loves being part of a collaborative firm where multiple minds work together on solving issues. Katherine’s favourite part about being a lawyer is that it’s never boring, every case is unique, and she enjoys the diversity of problem solving and interacting with our clients.

Katherine is the owner and founder of the mediation business “Next Step Mediation”. Katherine offers mediation services in relation to family law, estate disputes, contract disputes and workplace and school disputes.
