We are pleased to share that Jennifer Maher, Director and head of Velocity Legal’s Trusts & Estates team, has been recognised in The Best Lawyers in Australia™ 2027 for Trusts and Estates and Wealth Management / Succession Planning Practice.

Velocity Legal’s Trusts & Estates team has also been recognised by Best Law Firms – Australia 2027 as a Tier 1 Trusts and Estates law firm in Melbourne.

Together, these recognitions reflect the strength of the team’s work in trusts and estates matters, including estate planning, estate administration, trust law and estate disputes.

Why this matters
