Karen has worked in law for many years and has previously worked with Melissa and Anne at Fox Mildwaters prior to the merge to Fox Taylor Mildwaters in 2014. Karen enjoys being part of the team at Griffiths McDonald Carson and has developed solid friendships which brings a sense of a family atmosphere when coming to work. After being involved in various aspects of law, and with Melissa’s guidance, Karen is now our Conveyancing Manager.
Karen has a very positive and caring attitude. Clients can rely on Karen to do the best she can to make sure that all conveyancing transactions happen with the least stress or hassles for our clients. Despite working dedicatedly all day, clients will often receive emails from Karen after hours as she rarely leaves the office before ensuring everything is in order and nothing is overlooked.
Karen is a rapid and accurate typist. She is the only person in the office who has had her keyboard replaced twice in the same number of years!!
Meticulous and thorough in her work, Karen is an absolute asset to Griffiths McDonald Carson and a benefit to every client wanting a competent and efficient conveyancer and peace of mind when buying and selling.
In addition to conveyancing, Karen has assisted Melissa historically in relation to:
- Succession Law and Estate Planning including Wills / Testamentary Trusts / Enduring Powers of Attorney and Advance Health Directives.
- Succession Law, Estate Administration and Estate Litigation including contesting Wills and Family Provision Applications.
- Property and Conveyancing including property development and off plan contracts.
- Commercial Conveyancing, Commercial and Business transactions, Commercial, Retail Shop and Residential Leasing.
- Family Law and Domestic Violence.
- Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal matters including debt recovery, Neighbourhood disputes and adult guardian matters.
Karen’s wealth of knowledge and experience in assisting practitioners across many aspects of law has proven invaluable to clients in conveyancing matters when that quirky element occasionally arises.
Away from the office, Karen has three incredible children and assists her husband with his boat building business. Karen has a few rescue cats and is known as our office animal lover. Melissa often jokes that if she comes back as an animal, she wants to be adopted by Karen. Relaxation for Karen involves time out on the water catching fish and taking photographs of all things wildlife and nature. Karen’s amazing photography can be found throughout our website.
