Lilli Sommerville

Law Clerk

Lilli is a Law Clerk at Orbell Family Lawyers committed to ensuring clients feel heard, supported, and valued through every step of the family law process. She brings genuine care and compassion to her role, making sure every client leaves feeling reassured.

Lilli is currently completing a double degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice and Laws at the University of New South Wales, with her studies wrapping up in 2026. Known for her meticulous organisational skills and attention to detail, she takes pride in ensuring our solicitors and clients feel well supported.

Having encountered the family law system as a child, Lilli brings a personal understanding to her work and a genuine care for helping families navigate difficult times. She is passionate about making each client’s experience as stress-free as possible, and is committed to ensuring they receive the highest quality support.

Lilli was named on the 2025 Dean’s List for the Faculty of Law at UNSW. She applies this same dedication to her work, with a detail-oriented approach and excellent communication skills that help break down complex legal concepts for clients.

Outside the office, Lilli enjoys the coastal lifestyle—spending weekends at the beach and keeping active at the gym. A dedicated dancer growing up, she was National Tap Champion at 12 years old and now enjoys sharing her passion for dance with others. She values time with friends and family, travelling, and making lasting memories.
