Jillaine Duve has been a lawyer since 1998 and brings to the firm a wide range of litigation experience. She served as an Associate to a Supreme Court Judge in North Queensland as a fresh law graduate in 1996, spent 3 years working as a Crown Prosecutor in North Queensland specialising in criminal law and then spent several years living in London where she worked at Clifford Chance, the world’s largest law firm.
Jillaine joined Caldwell Martin Cox as an Associate Solicitor in June 2006 and became a Partner in 2018. She has practised exclusively as a Family Lawyer for nearly 20 years and regularly appears in the Family Court and the Federal Circuit Court in Parramatta, Wollongong and Sydney. She completed her national mediation qualifications in 2017 and is a registered Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner. Jillaine is also a member of AIFLAM (the Australian Institute of Family Law Arbitrators and Mediators) and the Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia. She is deeply committed to the principles of dispute resolution outside the Court process but, if negotiations aren’t successful, she’s not afraid to use her extensive litigation experience to steer her clients through the Court system to help them achieve the right outcome for them and for their children.
Jillaine worked hard as a founding Director on the Board of the Bendigo Bank Community Bank in Picton to establish it in 2011 and now spends her volunteering hours at her son’s primary school. She is a long time yoga devotee, plays sport and travels as much as she can.
