Paula Becker

Paula Becker, a Senior Associate at Giles Payne & Co, has been practising law in the Eastern Suburbs for over 20 years. Her extensive experience spans Family Law, Wills and Estates Litigation, as well as involvement in criminal matters often connected to her family law practice. With a strong competency in transactional matters, Paula adeptly drafts commercial agreements for her clients. Her courtroom experience is notable, with regular appearances in the Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Paula collaborates effectively with the firm's solicitors to ensure well-rounded and informed advice, believing that law's complexities benefit from diverse perspectives. Her commitment to delivering comprehensive client service is evident in her approach to legal issues as multi-faceted rather than straightforward. Beyond her professional responsibilities, Paula takes an active role in her community. As a member of Girl Guides NSW ACT NT, she has dedicated 8 years as a leader with her local Junior Guide unit. She also supports local youth activities, volunteering with her children's soccer teams and ballet school. Her past volunteer work has further contributed to her local guiding district. Holding a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Arts from Monash University, a Diploma of Law, and a Masters of Law from UTS, Paula is well-credentialed. Her memberships in the Law Society of NSW and affiliations with Girl Guides NSW ACT NT underscore her dedication both professionally and personally. Her contributions have been recognised through several Volunteer of the Year Awards.
