About Keni Family Law & Mediation
At Keni Family Law & Mediation, we are passionate about helping individuals and families navigate complex legal matters with confidence and clarity. Based in Hawthorn (6 kilometers east of the Melbourne CBD), Victoria, our firm specialises in family law, mediation, family dispute resolution, wills & estates, and property settlements, providing practical, professional, and compassionate support to every client.
Our practice is led by Prajakta (Praj) Keni, Principal Lawyer, Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner (FDRP), and Accredited NMAS Mediator. Based in Hawthorn and servicing clients across Melbourne and Victoria, Praj brings together expert family law representation and professionally accredited mediation under one roof - a combination that sets Keni Family Law & Mediation apart. We are recognised by the Legal Services Board of Victoria as practising lawyers and authorised by the Attorney-General of Australia to provide legally recognised mediation for parenting and family law matters.
We believe that quality legal support should be accessible and affordable. That’s why we offer transparent, reasonably priced services, ensuring financial barriers do not prevent anyone from receiving the help they deserve. At Keni Family Law & Mediation, you can trust that your case will be handled with care, professionalism, and a focus on achieving the best possible outcome.
Our Approach
At Keni Family Law & Mediation, we believe good legal practice goes beyond technical expertise - it's about understanding people. Legal matters rarely arise at convenient times, and we recognise that behind every case is a person navigating one of life's more difficult chapters. That's why everything we do is grounded in empathy, respect, and honest, clear guidance from the very first conversation.
We are committed to delivering solutions that are not only effective but also tailored to your unique needs. Our approach is child-focused and practical.
We work to help families resolve disputes as efficiently and amicably as possible, often without the need for court proceedings. Whether a client requires skilled legal representation or the structured support of an independent mediator, we tailor our services to the individual circumstances of each matter, always keeping your rights and best interests at the centre of everything we do.
From your first consultation through to final resolution, our commitment remains constant - to ensure you feel informed, supported, and confident at every step of the process.
