Eleni Angeletos

Modern Lawyer

Eleni is a dedicated and compassionate family lawyer with a particular interest in complex children and parenting matters including interstate and international relocation, international child abduction (under the Hague Convention), family violence and unacceptable risk matters. She also has a strong interest in property matters arising from both married and de facto relationships, particularly those involving high-net-worth asset pools, complex trust and corporate structures, superannuation interests, tax considerations, injunctions and third parties.

No matter the size or complexity of the case, Eleni approaches every matter with the same level of diligence and strategic focus. Whether handling a straightforward settlement or a highly intricate parenting dispute, she is committed to guiding her clients through with clarity and compassion.

She draws on her significant court-based experience having worked as an Associate at the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (as it then was) to deliver strategic, realistic, and effective legal advice tailored to each client’s unique set of circumstances.

Eleni adopts a resolution-focused approach to her practice. She works to settle or narrow issues through negotiation and alternative dispute resolution, always seeking the most efficient and cost-effective path to agreement. When litigation is necessary, Eleni brings a strategic and robust mindset, advocating for her clients with precision and confidence in court. Her practice is pragmatic and results-driven, grounded in a deep understanding of the emotional and financial toll family law disputes can take.

Eleni prides herself on building strong rapport with her clients. She ensures they feel understood, informed, and empowered throughout what is often a highly personal and emotionally charged process. Where appropriate, she collaborates with a trusted network of professionals including financial advisors, accountants, and therapists to provide holistic support that extends beyond the legal issues at hand.

Real Person

Outside of work, Eleni finds joy in simple pleasures. She enjoys cooking and experimenting with new recipes at home, often inspired by her interest in languages and cultures. She loves exploring new perspectives through travel, whether it’s discovering hidden gems around Melbourne or venturing overseas when time allows. Eleni is a loyal Richmond Tigers and Melbourne Victory supporter and finds her balance through beach walks, her weekly gym classes and escaping to the hot springs for relaxation and to immerse herself in nature. She’s also a self-confessed reality TV buff and has a mild (but proudly unapologetic) obsession with chocolate.
