Kayte’s work at Voice Lawyers

As well as leading the practice, Kayte’s own work involves all levels of individual and corporate employment law, including mediation, dispute resolution, litigation, contract reviews and organisational change. She also designs and implements workplace training and development and has a keen interest in brand protection and intellectual property management. 

Kayte’s family law work is founded on respect and compassion, as well as a desire to ensure that her clients are fully prepared and informed as they move through the process. She supports them through each stage, constantly advocating for them and defending their position. And of course, ensuring their voice gets heard at all times.

Kayte has appeared in a wide variety of tribunals and courts for Voice Lawyers including the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia, Supreme Court of New South Wales, the Fair Work Commission, the Local and District Courts and NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

Much like her focus on ongoing individual development, Kayte is continually seeking ways for Voice Lawyers to do better – whether that be in providing a culture of support and professional development for its staff, improving the process for its clients, or working hard to positively represent the legal industry.
