Shirin Motamedi chose family law because it combines two things she values deeply: helping people through difficult transitions and giving them the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their future.
A Special Counsel at Village Family Lawyers, Shirin focuses on complex property matters, including those involving business structures and unique assets such as cryptocurrency. She is also regularly involved in high-conflict parenting matters. Whatever the matter, Shirin explains complex issues in a way that feels practical, clear and manageable, so clients understand exactly where they stand.
Shirin is a strong advocate for resolving disputes outside the courtroom wherever possible. She focuses on negotiation, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, and works closely with clients to explore pathways that reduce conflict, minimise stress and create lasting outcomes. She understands that the prospect of litigation can feel overwhelming, particularly when children are involved, and helps families reach parenting arrangements that work for their circumstances.
Shirin also acts in matters involving Family Violence Intervention Orders. Her practical understanding of criminal law gives her valuable insight where family law and intervention order issues intersect, allowing her to guide clients through complex situations with confidence and care.
Shirin knows that family law is rarely just about legal documents or court processes. For many clients, it is a period of uncertainty, where important decisions need to be made while emotions are running high. Shirin’s role is to bring clarity to that process and help clients move forward with confidence.
Clients appreciate Shirin’s calm and compassionate manner and her thoughtful, client-focused approach. She believes there is no single solution that works for everyone, and takes the time to understand what matters most to each client before developing a strategy that supports their goals.
Outside of work, Shirin enjoys spending time outdoors, discovering new eateries and listening to interesting podcasts. She values quality time with family and friends, and believes the strongest support networks are often built through simple moments together.
