“It’s been really gratifying to see that the firm has clear career paths available to people within,” said Woods, who started off in the firm as a third-year lawyer.

“I’ve been with Hunt & Hunt for nearly seven years,” Woods said. “I’ve been able to grow in terms of being able to specialise in family law, which is what I wanted to do.”

Acknowledging that an emphasis on professional development had always been big at the firm, Woods said that “hard work is clearly rewarded ... and this has been motivating for me”.

Woods is an accredited family law specialist practising in all family matters including de facto relationships, divorce and separation, child residence and support and contact disputes.
