ABOUT KAYTE LEWIS

I advise CEOs, founders, business owners and boards on complex legal, commercial and personal issues—where people, risk, reputation and strategy intersect.With more than 25 years’ experience across strategic communication and law, I bring a rare combination of legal expertise and executive-level advisory capability. My work goes well beyond technical advice—I support decision-makers through high-stakes situations where outcomes matter both commercially and personally.As Principal of Voice Lawyers, I act for clients across Australia in employment and family law, including high-net-worth individuals with complex asset structures, business interests and reputational considerations. I am regularly trusted to advise on matters that sit at the intersection of business and personal life, where discretion and strategic clarity are critical.I have appeared in the NSW Supreme Court, NSW Court of Appeal, Federal Court of Australia, Fair Work Commission, State Industrial Relations Commission, NCAT and various tribunals. This breadth of advocacy experience informs a pragmatic, outcome-driven approach to both disputes and strategic advisory work.My foundation in communication underpins everything I do. Prior to practising law, I worked with executives and leadership teams on presentation, negotiation and influence. That experience now informs my legal practice—particularly in sensitive, high-pressure matters where how something is handled is as critical as the legal position itself.I am particularly experienced in:* Advising CEOs, executives and boards on workplace risk, disputes and governance issues* Navigating complex employment, leadership and ownership matters* Acting for high-net-worth individuals in family law matters involving business and asset complexity* Providing strategic advice where business and personal issues intersect*Mediating and negotiating complex matters* Managing high-conflict or high-sensitivity disputes requiring discretion and precisionAlongside my commercial practice, I have spent many years supporting victims of domestic violence. This work continues to inform my understanding of risk, behaviour and power dynamics in legal disputes.I am interested in board and advisory roles where legal insight, commercial judgement and strong communication are critical to leadership and organisational success
