“Experiencing a relationship breakdown whilst trying to navigate the family law system can be a harrowing and emotional journey. It brings me joy to be able to provide my clients with clear guidance and support every step of the way.”
Graduating from Murdoch University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Laws, Renee was admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of Western Australia and the High Court of Australia in February 2017.
Renee has worked in family law since 2014 and practised exclusively in this area since early 2019. She joined Carr & Co in May 2024 after having gained experience as a Head of Family Law Practice at a boutique firm in Perth.
