Nicole Phillips

Practice Areas

Nicole is a Senior Associate solicitor and accredited Family Mediator at Family Law in Partnership. She handles all aspects of private family law, assisting and supporting clients who are navigating divorce or separation to resolve any financial or children issues that may arise. Nicole combines a warm, sympathetic manner with tactical nous and incisive judgment.

Nicole is both a qualified collaborative lawyer and an accredited family mediator. She is a strong proponent of what mediation can offer clients, namely a holistic, constructive and cost-effective means of resolving practical matters flowing from divorce or separation by reducing conflict. Nicole is available to conduct mediations either online or in person, for both children and financial issues.

Nicole has a strong interest in alternative dispute resolution and in working closely with other professionals such as family consultants and therapists to achieve a successful outcome for her clients. Her interest in holistic support is just one reason why she was elected to Resolution’s Innovation Committee (a national organisation of family lawyers with over 6,000 members), developing tools and business methods to benefit the whole membership and, by extension, the family law industry as a whole.

Professional Memberships

Nicole is a member of the influential FSG Language Group which has led the “Language Matters” campaign to improve the language used for separating families. The campaign has received considerable interest across Government, the family law community and the media.
