About Kerry
Kerry’s main focus is her business Family Mediation @ LawMobile
Kerry McLouta is a Melbourne-based lawyer and mediator with a passion for bridging law and technology to make dispute resolution more accessible and responsive. As the founder and principal of LawMobile, Kerry leads with a vision to modernise the delivery of legal and mediation services. Her professional practice is anchored in family law, dispute resolution, and embracing child-inclusive approaches in mediation.
Areas of Expertise & Roles
- FDRP / Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner — Kerry is accredited to facilitate mediation under Australia’s family law system, including issuing Section 60I certificates when appropriate (a requirement in many parenting disputes).
- Legal Technology Advocate — Kerry applies a tech-forward mindset in her work, exploring how digital tools, platforms, and innovation can improve access, efficiency, and transparency in legal services.
- Multilingual Communication — Kerry is fluent in Greek, an asset when working with clients whose primary language is Greek, allowing more effective communication and cultural responsiveness.
Philosophy & Approach
Kerry’s mediation style is firmly child-centred: she believes that children’s well-being must remain central to separation processes, not peripheral. Her use of child-inclusive practices means that where safe and appropriate, children may be met by a qualified child consultant, and their feedback (with their consent) is shared in the mediation process to inform outcomes. This approach aligns with contemporary best practice in family dispute resolution.
She also holds firm to the principle that access to quality legal help should not be restricted by outdated or overly adversarial systems—this underpins her interest in legal tech solutions and more flexible engagement models.
