George Glezakos came to the Bar in 2018 after about 18 years as a solicitor advocate and partner in a medium-sized law firm. He was admitted on 8 November 2000 and called to the Victorian Bar on 10 May 2018. As a solicitor he appeared regularly in the former Federal Circuit Court and Family Court — now the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia — and in all Victorian courts, according to his clerk’s profile.
Family law has been the core of his practice since 2009, when the Law Institute of Victoria accredited him as a Family Law Specialist. His clerk says he accepts briefs to appear and advise in family law and related matters, including parenting and property disputes and intervention orders, and to conduct mediations. He is a Nationally Accredited (NMAS) Mediator.
Doyle’s Guide has listed him in every edition since 2023. He is Recommended among parenting and children’s matters junior counsel in Victoria in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, and Recommended among Victorian family law junior counsel in 2025 and 2026.
Background. He completed a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Science at the University of Melbourne in 1999. He is a member of the Family Law Bar Association, the Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia and the Australian Institute of Family Law Arbitrators and Mediators (AIFLAM), and was previously a volunteer and committee member of what was then the Essendon Community Legal Service. He speaks Greek fluently, and the register of lawyers records Greek as a language of practice.

How a barrister is engaged. Barristers in Victoria are sole practitioners. They are ordinarily briefed by a solicitor rather than retained directly by a client, and their availability and fees are arranged through their clerk.

George Glezakos is listed on the Victorian register of lawyers kept by the Victorian Legal Services Board + Commissioner. The entry below is reproduced as it appeared on 17 September 2026.
Barristers in Victoria are sole practitioners, which is why the “practising at” field shows his own name rather than a firm, and why accredited specialisation is recorded as not applicable — the Law Institute of Victoria specialist accreditation scheme is for solicitors.
He is clerked by Holmes List and practises from Room 1124, Aickin Chambers, 200 Queen Street, Melbourne. Holmes List, at Isaacs Chambers, 555 Lonsdale Street (03 9225 6444), announced that he had joined the list on 4 July 2025; he was previously on Svenson Barristers. A clerking list is not a law firm: its barristers remain sole practitioners.
Contact Holmes List about availability. Family law barristers are normally briefed by a solicitor. If you do not yet have one, our matching service can put your matter in front of a family lawyer who can then brief counsel if your matter needs it.
