Supporting the Community: Linda Yao Presents on Australian Family Law

Linda Yao, Solicitor at Watts McCray Lawyers, recently had the privilege of delivering a presentation on Australian family law alongside Beth Jarman, a mediator from Civil Resolution. The session was organised by a local school parent association and provided a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, answer questions, and engage with a motivated group of mothers, many of whom are new immigrants.

The presentation aimed to provide essential information about family law in Australia, helping attendees better understand their rights and the legal protections available for themselves and their children. Linda and Beth addressed common questions and concerns, fostering a supportive environment where community members felt comfortable discussing sensitive topics.

Beth Jarman, a former family lawyer and Special Counsel at Mills Oakley, now works exclusively as a mediator, offering expert guidance on resolving family disputes. Her collaboration with Linda brought valuable perspectives from both legal and mediation viewpoints, ensuring the information shared was comprehensive and practical.

The event was warmly received by attendees, who appreciated the clear explanations and the opportunity to ask questions relevant to their unique circumstances. The session helped demystify complex legal processes and emphasised the importance of seeking timely advice.

This presentation reflects Watts McCray Lawyers’ ongoing dedication to community engagement and legal education. By providing accessible information and fostering open dialogue, Linda and her colleagues help empower families to navigate challenging situations with confidence.
