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 been working in the legal industry for several years in both wills and estates and family law, which led me to complete my Juris Doctor in 2025. I completed my PLT through ACAP and will be admitted to practice in October 2025. I’m now excited to be starting my career as a lawyer with Joliman Lawyers, working closely with Justine and Louise.

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.
