Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers has welcomed Paul Lewis, as Senior Legal Counsel, and an expert in Family and Relationships Law. Paul’s presence strengthens the firm’s growing practice areas across the east coast of Australia. He will see clients at the firm’s Sydney and Parramatta offices and at other office locations by appointment.

“Paul has significant experience in the family law space, having worked in private legal practice with a focus on family law and mediation for more than 30 years. He has a reputation for settling hard cases, in parenting matters and financial disputes. Paul is an Accredited Specialist in Family Law and an Accredited Specialist in Dispute Resolution through the NSW Law Society. He is also a General Member (sessional) of the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT)” said Managing Partner of Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers, Hanaan Indari.

Ms Indari said further “Paul’s appointment underscores the focus of our strategic direction for the firm to be offering a comprehensive suite of legal services across the life cycle of personal law that includes wills and estate planning, property transactions, family law, injury and compensation law, as well as business law for all sizes of family enterprises.  I am pleased to lead a growing firm that has so many truly expert lawyers in each of the firm’s practice areas.”

Speaking of his appointment, Paul said “Three things stood out with my decision to join the firm. My desire to help clients at a highly respected firm with a broad client base. The opportunity to continue to mentor the next generation of family lawyers and, importantly, the people who work at Carroll & O’Dea are credible and down to earth.”

In welcoming Paul to Carroll & Dea Lawyers, Ms Indari said “Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers is very excited to offer Family Law services to our valued clients as part of our Personal services practice and, on behalf of the firm, I whole-heartedly welcome Paul to the team.”
