Kira Faulkner

Solicitor

Kira is a kind and passionate solicitor at Orbell Family Lawyers, bringing exceptional communication and organisational skills to every client matter. Her varied employment history and rich life experience have cultivated an ever-evolving skill set grounded in critical thinking, empathy, and a genuine ability to connect with clients facing difficult situations.

Kira has worked as a paralegal in both general practice and specialty law firms for over ten years, regularly assisting with litigation matters alongside barristers and senior solicitors. She was recently admitted as a solicitor after completing a Diploma in Law with the LPAB and Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice with the College of Law. This extensive paralegal experience has given her a comprehensive understanding of legal processes and the importance of meticulous preparation and client care at every stage of a matter.

After years of working at a specialty personal injury firm, Kira felt a strong desire to reconnect with the human element of law—to be present for clients during their most vulnerable moments. She is committed to using her exceptional problem-solving skills to provide practical guidance and solutions throughout family law matters. Kira genuinely enjoys helping clients achieve the best possible outcomes and takes pride in explaining legal processes in a clear, pragmatic manner. Her approach ensures clients understand each step of their journey while feeling confident, reassured, and truly heard.

Kira’s passion for working collaboratively as part of a team means her years of expertise in case management, drafting, preparation of court documents, and client communication translate into the highest level of service for the sensitive nature of family law matters. She strives to offer personalised support to every client, combining meticulous attention to detail with an empathetic communication style that puts people at ease during challenging times.

Outside of her professional life, Kira enjoys CrossFit, music, and cooking, spending as much time as possible in nature and at the beach. Her passion for travel has allowed her to experience diverse communities and cultures around the world, reflecting the deep value she places on connecting with people from all walks of life.
