Annabelle Paven

Modern Paralegal

Annabelle joined Farrar Gesini Dunn in 2019 and has worked exclusively in family law since that time. She enjoys the diversity of family law practice and values the fact that no two matters are the same, with each requiring a thoughtful and tailored approach.

Annabelle has a particular interest in complex financial matters involving corporate and trust structures, relocation cases, and matters with international elements. Having worked extensively on litigation-focused matters, she has developed a strong understanding of Court procedures and rules, together with the strategic considerations that arise throughout the litigation process. Equally, she appreciates the skill, creativity, and practical problem-solving required to assist clients in achieving favourable outcomes without the need for contested Court proceedings.

Known for her approachable and down-to-earth manner, Annabelle helps clients feel comfortable and supported during what is often one of the most challenging periods of their lives. She is dedicated, efficient, and meticulous in her work, bringing these qualities to every matter she is involved in.

Real Person

Outside the office, Annabelle is always in pursuit of her next adventure. Whether it’s an early morning gym session, chasing a gorgeous sunrise or sunset, escaping on a solo beach holiday, riding her motorbike, snowboarding through the mountains, or attempting to master the guitar, she enjoys any excuse to step away from a screen and reset her mind and body.

Annabelle loves good food and lives by one simple rule: never order your own meal. She firmly believes that half the enjoyment of dining out is the surprise, and willingly places her culinary fate in someone else’s hands. So far, the gamble has paid off.
