Catherine Osment

LLB, GDLP, AdvDipConveyancing
Lawyer

Catherine graduated from the University of New England, NSW with a Bachelor of Laws (Distinction) in 2021 and was awarded the New England Award in recognition of personal and professional development through her participation in:

  • extra-curricular learning and training;
  • leadership and work experience; and
  • volunteer work and contributions to the community.

Prior to admission in 2022 Catherine completed an 18-month internship at Young & Young Solicitors in Bunbury dealing primarily in Family and Criminal Law.

She subsequently undertook her Practical Legal Training with ALS in Bunbury operating in the same areas of law. Being exposed to such challenging matters involving individual personalities and where every case depends on its own unique facts and circumstances stimulated Catherine’s interest in pursuing a career in Family Law.
