Kelly Gatehouse
Hi, I’m Kelly Gatehouse
Principal Lawyer and Director of Nurture Law
I’m a wife, mum and step-mum, and the founder of Nurture Law.
I started this firm to change the way people experience estate law—clear, compassionate, and modern. After years of working in top-tier firms and being recognised as a leading estate lawyer in Australia, I wanted to build something that puts people first, grounded in kindness, integrity and open communication—including about pricing.
Growing up in a small family business taught me the importance of legacy. Helping clients protect theirs is at the heart of everything I do.
When I’m not practicing law, you’ll usually find me camping, travelling, or spending time with my family.
