About
Elisa Rothschild
BA/LLB — Principal Lawyer & Founder, Fogarty Oliver Rothschild
Background
A career built on family law expertise
I graduated from Monash University with a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws before completing my articles at Hallett West Barristers and Solicitors. From there, I practised as a solicitor at Fogarty Bayard and Oliver, where I developed a strong foundation in family law and property matters.
In 2012, I founded my own practice — bringing together that experience under a firm built around one guiding principle: every client deserves personal, attentive, and honest legal representation.
My practice covers a broad range of family and property law matters, including parenting arrangements, property settlements, intervention orders, wills and estates, conveyancing, and more. I am also experienced in advising on the unique intersection of Australian civil law and Jewish divorce law.
Based in St Kilda, I work with clients across Melbourne and Victoria, providing legal advice that is always grounded in your individual circumstances.

My Philosophy
Care. Compassion. Experience.
Care
I recognise that family law matters touch on the most important parts of your life. I approach every client and every matter with genuine care, ensuring you feel heard, supported, and understood throughout the process.
Compassion
Navigating separation, parenting disputes, or estate matters is rarely straightforward emotionally. I bring compassion to every interaction — working with you, not just for you, to find the right path forward.
Experience
With a career spanning more than a decade in family and property law, I bring deep practical knowledge to every matter. My experience means I can provide clear, grounded advice even in complex and sensitive situations.
