In her new role at KKI, Ms Sergi will head up a new family law practice where she will combine her extensive experience to offer clients an integrated family law offering supported by the firm’s strong commercial, wills, structuring and estates and disputes resolution capability.
“The appointment of Josephine, and the addition of family law, enables the firm to fully look after our clients, their lives, families and their businesses,” said KKI partner Sven Burchartz.
According to the firm’s statement, Ms Sergi is experienced across the full range of family law services, but her primary areas of specialisation include property matters featuring family businesses and complex corporate structures, overseas assets, taxation and valuation issues, third parties and undisclosed assets.
“From my first discussion with KKI, it was apparent there was a synergy in vision, approach and culture,” Ms Sergi said.
“KKI’s strong focus on striving for a high standard of quality, not only in legal work but also on client service and the importance of the people that are KKI resonated, giving me certainty this was something special.
“I feel privileged and very excited to have the chance to work with the KKI team, and to establish and solidify a high-level family law practice which will stand the test of time.”
KKI partner Mr Burchartz described the appointment of Ms Sergi and the addition of family law to the firm as enabling it to fully look after their clients, their lives, families and their businesses.
“Josephine is the ideal practitioner to establish this new and important practice area for KKI, she understands that all families are different, and how the dynamics, motivations and issues within each family vary,” he said.
“She has exceptional commercial and financial literacy. She is level headed and acutely understands ‘our way’ of practising, which is to provide tailored, practical and strategic advice to achieve positive outcomes and minimise conflict.
“However, if court action becomes necessary, she is an accomplished and fierce advocate for her clients.”
