Caterine holds a law degree and passed the Brazilian Bar Exam in 2011, practising as a lawyer in Brazil until 2018. She has been living in Australia since then and has been part of our litigation team since 2024. She also holds a postgraduate qualification in Environmental Law, as well as a Certificate IV and Diploma in Leadership and Management completed in Australia. Caterine has also undertaken training in Contract Administration with Master Builders Queensland.
With over 12 years of experience across civil litigation, insurance, and building and construction matters, Caterine brings a broad range of experience to the team. She spent six years leading a team responsible for negotiating major agreements with insurance companies and has worked closely with engineers on construction projects, including matters involving environmental compliance. Her experience has also reinforced the importance of clear and well-structured contracts in managing risk, preventing disputes and avoiding costly litigation.
Caterine is currently working towards admission as a solicitor in Australia and is excited to continue developing her career in the Australian legal profession.
Outside of the office, I’m passionate for sport, the outdoors and constantly challenging herself. She practises Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and enjoys surfing and surfskating, always looking for something new to learn and a new challenge to take on.
I love being in contact with nature and believes that sport has taught her many of the qualities she brings into everyday life discipline, resilience, strength and the ability to keep going when things get difficult.
I am practical by nature and enjoys learning, pushing herself outside her comfort zone and finding ways to manage pressure, even when work and life become serious. I find it particularly rewarding to build genuine connections with clients and to help them through difficult and stressful situations. For me, one of the most satisfying parts of the work is seeing a client who came in feeling overwhelmed begin to see some light at the end of the tunnel and, whenever possible, sharing a good laugh along the way.
