ABOUT ALEXANDER BUTTERS

Alexander was called to Bar in 2022 following 7 years in practice as a solicitor in family law. He was born and educated in Newcastle.

Alexander’s experience also ranges into Estate matters, and he has appeared before the Supreme Court of New South Wales in relation to contested wills and family provision claims.

Alexander’s previous roles have provided him with vast experience and understanding of both the Court’s and a client’s involvement in family law disputes. This places Alexander in a unique position to represent clients at any stage of a family law matter, from alternative dispute resolution through to Appeals.
