Hello, I’m Renee Debono.
I’m a lawyer, conveyancing and property enthusiast, accredited mediator and am wildly passionate about helping others. I’m also the founder of The Law Collective.
Outside of being a lawyer, you’ll find me trying a new restaurant, booking a holiday (usually to somewhere warmer than my home town in Ballarat) or chasing after my two children. Outside of work, I love all the special roles I have as a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend.
I work predominantly in the areas of conveyancing, commercial and residential property law and wills.
Over the years, I have loved supporting thousands of people to make informed decisions about their future. During this time I have taken great joy in building my professional network in Ballarat, and beyond. I pride myself on taking a holistic approach when working alongside you, and your business and will always take the time to understand your future ambitions to allow me to give you the best possible advice.
The Law Collective was born out of a desire to combine my two great loves (outside of my husband and my children of course!) - helping others & the law but in a way that feels empathetic and personal.
My biggest hope for The Law Collective is that it becomes a place where our clients turn into friends and trust in us for honest, expert and human-centric advice.

Hello, I’m Eliza Thompson.
I am a Senior Conveyancer and the Office Manager at The Law Collective and I’m beyond excited to work with and get to know you and your business!
I’ve been working in the legal industry as a Conveyancer for the past 13 years and have gained important knowledge and experience for all things property over that time.
I have been privileged to work with an array of clients over the years and really value the trusting relationships that I have built. I specialise in property developments and conveyancing and have assisted in transacting substantial settlements within the Ballarat, Melbourne, Ararat and Mildura regions.
I am highly experienced in handling subdivisions, developments, working with buyers agents and drafting contracts, that can include conditions that cater for more complex property matters. I pride myself, and work closely with my clients to ensure that their interests are protected throughout the process.
I’m a mum of two children and my family alongside work, are my proudest and greatest achievements.

Hi, I’m Abbey Perkins.
I’m the Receptionist and Operations Manager at The Law Collective. Often described by my friends as “the organised one,” I thrive on a good to-do list and genuinely enjoy building meaningful connections—both professionally and personally.
With over 10 years of experience in administration, customer service, and operations, I’ve worked across a variety of industries within the Ballarat community. This diverse background has given me a strong foundation in delivering efficient support and exceptional service. One of my favourite quotes is from Shep Hyken: “Make every interaction count, even the small ones. They are all relevant.” That’s the mindset I bring to my work each day.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me walking my fur-baby Winston, spending time with family and friends, or planning my next travel adventure.
I’m thrilled to be joining Renee and the team at The Law Collective, and I am enjoying using my skills in the legal industry and have loved meeting all of our wonderful clients.

I am a Solicitor here at The Law Collective and have been working in the legal industry for the past 4 and a half years across Ballarat and Geelong, with a particular focus on Property Law, Conveyancing, Wills and Estates. I take a personal and thoughtful approach to my work, and I really value the opportunity to support clients through what can often be sensitive or emotional decisions.

Hello, I’m Georgia Moore.
I started my conveyancing career in 2011, shortly after finishing high school. Having always been interested in law, I jumped at an opportunity to join a local firm and quickly discovered my passion for conveyancing. I completed my Diploma in 2015 and obtained my licence in 2018.
I love the client focused side of what I do and take pride in making each transaction as smooth and stress free as possible. I handle every stage of the process, from contract advice through to settlement, and enjoy getting to know each client along the way. I’m detail oriented, love numbers, and have experience in standard transfers, matrimonial matters, and trust purchases. I approach every file with empathy and determination, understanding that while it’s something I do every day, it’s often a once in a lifetime event for some of my clients.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, spending time with my husband, daughter, and puppy exploring local parks and walking trails, and treating myself to an iced coffee (with cream and ice cream, of course). My ideal evening is spent relaxing with my family and unwinding with some trashy TV or a good documentary.

Hi, I’m Georgia Bradley.
I’m a Conveyancer at The Law Collective. I began my conveyancing journey in 2022 after working in real estate administration, was drawn to the way property, people, and the law all come together. I started out as a Conveyancing Assistant, learning the ins and outs of property transfers before progressing to manage my own matters. I’m now studying an Advanced Diploma of Conveyancing through RMIT while working full time. Before entering the legal industry, I worked across diverse roles - from early mornings at horse racing stables to fast-paced hospitality venues around Ballarat. These different workplace experiences gave me a strong work ethic and a love for people from all walks of life.
I’m passionate about providing a personal and supportive experience for every client, especially First Home Buyers. Buying or selling a home is a major milestone, and I love helping clients feel confident and cared for throughout the process. I pride myself on my approachable nature, attention to detail, and genuine connection with the people I work with.
Outside of work, you’ll often find me riding my horse Wally, spending time with my dogs Remy and Albert, or exploring new food and wine spots around Victoria. I’m also an avid Formula 1 and AFL fan, proudly cheering on Mercedes-AMG Petronas and the Hawthorn Football Club.
