Our experts

At Spectrum Law & Mediations we have a wealth of knowledge and experience in helping people navigate the difficult circumstances surrounding family separations.

Mary Louise Hatch (Director)

BA LLB LLM
As a young lawyer, Mary Louise worked out that separating couples need a lot of support and encouragement to work together and avoid hurting the kids. So, she decided to also become a Mediator. She now works with people and families of all kinds to help them make the best decisions they can for their family without fighting or going anywhere near a court. Mary Louise also enjoys singing, after hours of course!

Here’s some feedback we received from some of our happy clients.

Jaya Konakov

Helped us find a different way

Mary Louise is amazing! She helped us find a different way of looking at things and work out our custody arrangements. We are now talking with each other and the kids are much happier. I would highly recommend her

Rod McKenzie

Very professional in everything they do

In our dealings with Mary Louise she has been professional, prompt and very easy to deal with. She has a wealth of knowledge in her field. Highly recommend.

Tereza Antonios

Immediately recognised our strengths and weaknesses

Mary Louise was extremely helpful in expediting our mediation. She immediately recognised our strengths and weaknesses and catered to us individually as best fit the situation. She was fair, unbiased and efficient throughout. Much more cost efficient than battling over nothing in court. Thanks
