Swaab Attorneys has appointed family lawyers Annette Wilson and Caroline Bass to its team.

Joining the firm as special counsel, Wilson's background includes work in commercial litigation, personal injury and property damage litigation. She now dedicates herself exclusively to all aspects of family law, including alternative dispute resolution, litigation and disputes over children and property.

Bass, who joins the firm as senior associate, has considerable experience in estate planning in addition to her expertise in family law. Her background includes extensive involvement in the community legal sector, where she has worked with government officials from across South East Asia to develop an international understanding on legal issues surrounding domestic violence and family law.

"We are very happy that these two excellent lawyers have joined our firm," said Swaab Attorney managing partner Fred Swaab.

"Family law is an important area of work for our firm and we are excited to be building on our strengths in this energetic and vibrant team."
