Brianna Finnegan

Brianna is an Associate at Melrose Keys Lawyers with a strong background in both prosecution and defence work.

Before moving into family law, she spent several years as a Federal Prosecutor with the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, working closely with the Australian Federal Police and State police on serious and complex matters, including financial crime and other sensitive investigations.

She later moved into private practice, representing clients in criminal and domestic violence proceedings.

Across these roles, Brianna developed extensive court experience and is recognised for providing clear advice, disciplined judgement and strong advocacy in challenging, high‑stakes matters.

Her experience across prosecution and defence gave Brianna a clear understanding of how family breakdown and complex personal circumstances can affect individuals.

This perspective drew her to family law, where she could support clients more directly during these challenging periods with clarity, empathy and practical guidance.

At Melrose Keys Lawyers, Brianna assists clients with family law matters, including parenting and property disputes, as well as domestic violence proceedings.

She is known for her calm and steady approach, her ability to identify key issues quickly, and her commitment to helping clients feel informed and supported at every stage of their matter.

Outside of work, Brianna enjoys exploring the outdoors with her miniature Groodle, Lacey.
