About Rachel Jones

Rachel Jones is passionate about family law and is a strong and approachable advocate for all of her clients.

Rachel has been practising law for over 14 years. She began her career at Slater and Gordon in 2007 and remained there for 11 years gaining valuable experience working in commercial litigation, class actions, corporate law, professional standards and risk and family law. It was during this time that Rachel’s commitment to social justice and family law became firmly entrenched. Following this time, Rachel worked at Blackwood Family Lawyers and was more recently employed as a principal lawyer at Gordon Legal in Melbourne.

Based on Rachel’s commercial and corporate law background, she has a natural aptitude for complex family law property matters. Her passion for family law emanates from being an adopted child and learning from a young age of the difficult decisions that parents sometimes have to make in the best interests of their children – and the critical importance of providing children with a loving and stable family environment. 

Rachel is a skilled negotiator and litigator and is thrilled to combine her extensive experience and legal skills with her innate sense of social justice and compassion to provide tailored family law services to both her Melbourne and regional clients.
