Georgia Filis

Georgia practises exclusively in estates and succession law, advising executors, families, and individuals on estate administration, estate planning, and the protection of assets for future generations. She works with clients across the spectrum, from modest to high net worth families with complex portfolios, providing comprehensive oversight of matters while remaining directly involved at every stage. Her approach allows executors and loved ones to focus on their personal and family responsibilities during difficult times, confident that their legal affairs are being managed with care and diligence.

She is driven by a strong commitment to advocacy and achieving practical, effective outcomes, particularly during periods of loss or significant transition. Georgia values precision and efficiency, approaching matters with adaptability, considered judgment, and the confidence to navigate complex or sensitive decisions where required. Her practice is grounded in minimising stress for grieving families, protecting assets, and delivering pragmatic, tailored solutions. Clients value her empathy, diligence, and the genuine effort she invests in understanding what matters most to them.

Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science, Georgia brings a thoughtful and well-rounded perspective to her work, together with an appreciation for diverse cultures and lived experiences. This strengthens her ability to connect with clients from varied backgrounds and to navigate the broader interpersonal context often present in complex family dynamics and disputes. She places particular importance on clear communication and considered decision making, and has undertaken alternative dispute resolution training to support her work in sensitive an potentially contentious matters.

Outside of practice, Georgia maintains a strong interest in history and reading. In 2015, she earned a place on a commemorative trip to Gallipoli for the ANZAC centenary after researching a First World War veteran awarded the Military Cross for bravery. Her research involved extensive archival work at the Australian War Memorial, including obtaining access to previously sealed documents. This experience reflects her deep connection to history and enduring respect for the stories and resilience that continue to shape her perspective.
