Kirsty McLeod
Serving Canberra’s family law and immigration clients The Elringtons Family Law Team is headed by Kevin Robinson and Carlos Turini (Partner). Carlos Turini has been practicing as a solicitor for 28 years and combines two passions in his practice, namely: family law and migration law. He has been a family lawyer since 1988 and is an Accredited Specialist in Family Law. Kevin has over 20 years experience in legal services. Prior to joining private practice, he was Acting Deputy Protective Commissioner and Director Client Services with the New South Wales Attorney General’s Department. Two other solicitors, Kirsty McLeod and Leroy Dickson, make up the team of experts in family law. Kevin and Carlos work closely with each other and with the younger practitioners, Kirsty and Leroy as a tight, efficient group on different aspects of files to provide maximum service. The vast majority of family law disputes settle without going to court which is the desire of most clients. The elringtons team recognise their clients’ needs and attempt to resolve disputes amicably without compromising strong advocacy in those cases which must be litigated. In addition to his family law expertise, Carlos is a Registered Migration Agent (MARN 1001381) with the Migration Agents Authority. 20

Carlos works closely in all migration matters with Nanae Yoshiwara, solicitor, who is also a Registered Migration Agent (MARN 0964316). Nanae combines her practice in migration law with a practice in the litigation team (commercial and personal injuries litigation). Nanae has been practicing as a solicitor for seven years. “Migration law is a complex area. There are hundreds of visa categories and sub categories, each with detailed, prescriptive legal and policy requirements. The visa requirements are constantly changing for numerous reasons including adjusting the entry of migrants to the needs of Australia at any particular time,” Carlos said. Carlos and Nanae work closely in all migration matters and combine and complement their knowledge and experience in migration law and their separate areas of expertise to represent their clients.
