Spencer Family Law & Mediation

Hi, I’m Jenni. I’m the Principal of Spencer Family Law & Mediation. I’ve been a lawyer for almost 16 years and have spent most of those in family law. During that time I have represented clients from all walks of life, in every type of family law matter there is. I have a particular interest in complex property matters, as spreadsheets are kind of ‘my thing’, but if it’s a parenting matter you need help with, rest assured we both want what’s best for your children.

I started Spencer Family Law & Mediation with my husband, Pete, in August 2024, driven by a shared desire to do things a bit differently. We will never take on more clients than we can handle, as the standard of service we expect of ourselves is high. Being available when you need us most is more important to us than hitting billable targets.

In addition to practicing as a family lawyer, I am also a qualified family dispute resolution practitioner (or mediator). I am a big believer in trying to resolve matters before parties have to even contemplate seeing the inside of a court room, and mediation is an excellent way of doing this. It’s also an excellent way of preserving relationships post-separation, which is particularly important if there are children involved.
