Associate, Taussig Cherrie Fildes · Melbourne
Lucy Schnerring is an associate at Taussig Cherrie Fildes. She has practised exclusively in family law since her admission in April 2024 and joined the firm in October 2025.
She came to the firm with rare inside experience of the court: from late 2022 she was a legal case manager at the Federal Circuit and Family Court, and she was associate to Judge Bender. That gives her a thorough understanding of court processes and case management pathways, which she now brings to complex high net worth property matters and high-conflict parenting disputes involving complex risk issues, in litigation, mediation and alternative dispute resolution.
Her firm describes a lawyer with compassion for the challenges people face when a relationship breaks down, who aims to empower her clients to reach cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
