#Divorce Series: International Perspectives with Ian Kennedy AM (Melbourne)// Founder and Senior Partner of Kennedy Partners

<p>In this new episode of the divorce series, I have the privilege of interviewing Ian Kennedy AM, a founder and Senior Partner of Kennedy Partners, a forefront leader in the development of family law and a member of the Order of Australia (AM) in the Australia Day Honours List for his services to the law, legal education and national and international professional organisations.</p> <p>Ian’s legal career evolved from being an industrial advocate in the national scene to handling white-collar crimes and then finally settling in family law. He reminisced on how it was a fantastic time to be learning family law back in 1976 as it was a collaborative effort and it provided the opportunity to break down the barrier between bench, bar and solicitors.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not only is Ian highly recognized by his peers, his love for teaching and learning is also paired with mentoring, where many under his wings have succeeded. Indeed, family law is unique in its own field and most people are willing to share their experience, knowledge and ideas. Tune in to hear Ian share more about his written papers on law reform, his experience taking on interesting cases and his advice to law students and upcoming young lawyers.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can reach out to Ian Kennedy AM through the following platforms:&nbsp;</p> <p>Email: ian.kennedy@kennedylaw.com.au&nbsp;</p> <p>Website: www.kennedypartnerslawyers.com.au&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p>
