Jess Harington

Solicitor

Expertise

I work mainly in Family Law and Wills & Estates, supporting clients with care and understanding. I’m particularly interested in guardianship, estate planning and family law matters. For me, it’s really important to approach each client as a person, not just a case.

Background

I have worked in the legal profession for several years, supporting clients in both Wills and Estates and Family Law. My passion for helping people through the law inspired me to complete my Juris Doctor and Practical Legal Training through ACAP, before being admitted to legal practice in October 2025.

I approach every client with compassion, understanding and respect. I recognise that seeking legal assistance often comes at a challenging or significant time in a person’s life, and I am committed to ensuring each client feels heard, supported and confident about their next steps—because their story matters.

Interesting fact

I was born in the UK but moved to Australia when I was little, and I’ve lived all over Melbourne and its suburbs before moving out here with my partner to start our life outside the city. I’ve always been a bookworm and love diving into anything and everything I can get my hands on. I also enjoy picking up new crafts (though I don’t always finish what I start!). Outside of work I love spending time with my family, especially my nieces and nephews, who are a huge part of my life. At home, I’m usually kept busy with my two very loved but very cheeky dogs.
