David Gale

Director

Accredited Specialist in Family Law

Collaborative Lawyer | AMDRAS Accredited Mediator 

Hi, I’m David.

I started Gale Family Law when I saw that many traditional law firms were not delivering what clients wanted.

Although these firms get the legal work done, many clients are still feeling lost and bewildered in a process that is poorly-explained, cumbersome, and delivered using dated methods and technology.

My vision has been to create a family law firm that delivers technically excellent legal work while remaining personal, solutions-focused, and responsive to each client’s needs.

Backed by technology and adopting client-focused practices such as fixed fee pricing, I want to make it straightforward for clients to access high-quality legal services.

I commenced practising as a lawyer in 2014 and am a Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) Accredited Specialist in Family Law.

I specialise in complex financial settlements, particularly cases involving:

• Business valuations
• Self-managed superannuation funds
• Taxation considerations
• Child support
• Financial agreements / prenups
• Third party interests

My focus is on achieving practical, settlement-focused outcomes through a respectful and structured process.

I am known for combining technical expertise with a commercially sensible, big-picture approach.

I also offer mediation services and am trained in Collaborative Practice.

Outside of work, my favourite things are cooking, mountain bike riding, bushwalking, and spending time with my family.
