Family Law Team - Cristina Huesch

Principal and Managing Partner

Cristina obtained her first degree from Sydney University before undertaking postgraduate study with Ludwig Maximilian University (in Munich), the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board, the University of Technology Sydney, and the College of Law in Sydney. Prior to establishing Alliance Family Law, Cristina was the Canberra office Partner for Armstrong Legal.

Cristina has a particular interest in offering out-of-court solutions to family law problems. She encourages our clients to think of Court as a last resort, once all other settlement avenues have failed to lead to a fair outcome. Her extensive experience specialising in family law gives her the skill to advise on the range of options available, to help choose the best approach in the circumstances, and to achieve settlement where possible without the involvement of the court.

Cristina is fluent in German (spoken and written).
