We are delighted to announce that Alexandra Monteiro Willcock, Special Counsel, has joined the team at Doolan Callaghan Family Lawyers.
With a distinguished legal career spanning over 26 years, Alexandra has dedicated her professional life to the practice of Family Law, advocating for clients with skill, compassion, and unwavering integrity. As Special Counsel, Alexandra is a highly experienced practitioner with dual legal qualifications in both Australia and South Africa.
Her legal journey began in South Africa, where she was called to the Johannesburg Bar and practiced as a barrister for 20 years. During this time, she established herself as a formidable advocate, known for her depth of knowledge, strategic insight, and commitment to achieving the best outcomes for her clients. Her South African practice focused on complex parenting disputes, financial settlements, and high-conflict litigation, earning her a reputation for excellence across the legal community.
Converting her legal qualifications in 2017 and 2018 in order to practice in Australia, Alexandra and her family relocated to Australia’s beautiful Northern Beaches in 2019.
Since then, Alexandra has continued to build a thriving practice in Family Law, bringing her extensive international experience to the Australian legal landscape. Alexandra has helped countless individuals and families navigate some of the most emotionally charged and legally complex aspects of their lives, including parenting arrangements, property division, financial settlements, and spousal maintenance. Her clients benefit from her calm and measured approach, her ability to provide clear, practical advice, and her deep understanding of both the legal and human dimensions of family conflict.
Alexandra is passionate about empowering her clients, ensuring they are informed and supported throughout their legal journey. She is particularly adept at managing sensitive matters with discretion and empathy, always working towards solutions that prioritize the wellbeing of children, and the long-term interests of the families involved.
Her cross-jurisdictional experience, combined with her unwavering dedication to her clients and her passion for family law, make Alexandra a respected and trusted figure in the legal profession. She is proficient in Afrikaans and fluent in Portuguese.
Alexandra lives on Sydney’s Northern Beaches with her husband, children, and their beloved pets. A true lover of the outdoors, Alexandra enjoys spending her free time exploring nature, and embracing the coastal lifestyle.
Doolan Callaghan Family Lawyers is thrilled to have Alexandra, a highly experienced local Northern Beaches Family Lawyer, join their family law team.
