Shae Mitchell

Principal Solicitor

Having worked in family law since her admission exclusively within the Illawarra region, Shae has recently founded Mitchell Family Lawyers. Shae holds a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Finance attained from the University of Wollongong. She also holds a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Australian National University. Shae was admitted as a solicitor of both the Supreme Court and the High Court in 2015. She became a member of the Australian Association of Collaborative Professionals in 2023 and is a proponent of Collaborative Family Law Practice.

Shae advocates for change in attitude towards family violence by speaking openly about her own experiences as a child.

Shae has an enviable track record in providing sound and professional advice for her clients.  Shae knows that a family law matter may be her clients’ first contact with a lawyer and understands that they just want to move on with the next chapter of their lives.

For Shae, the best part of being a family lawyer is being able to help a client through the most stressful time of their lives and achieve a great outcome without high conflict, long delays or unreasonable expense.

Shae has been recognised by the Doyle's Guide as a Leading Family and Divorce Lawyer in Wollongong and Southern NSW for 2024, 2025 and 2026.
