Associate Lawyer, Mills Oakley, Sydney

As a Family Lawyer and Parenting Coordinator at Mills Oakley, Antonia Marran spends her days working with families in conflict. It is an area of the law that Antonia was instinctively drawn to after completing her law degree, and one in which she feels she can make a difference to families needing help. With a large family herself, and after having spent over 20 years as a journalist and writer covering a variety of family issues, she understands how parental conflict can exacerbate stress, anxiety and depression in children and is committed to minimising the impact of separation on the family. In addition to her professional experience as a Family Lawyer and trained Parenting Coordinator, Antonia is a Board member of The Kidman Centre, a not-for-profit organisation founded by her father, Professor Anthony Kidman, which is focused on the prevention and management of mental health problems in young people aged 5 – 25.
