Kate Pateman
The Practical Lawyer
Kate created klplegal (KLP Family Law as it then was) in 2012, and her dedication to family law has seen klplegal. become one of the leading and recommended law firms in North Queensland. Kate’s refreshing approach to the law with her no ‘BS’ or legal jargon has seen her become best known as The Practical Lawyer.
With over 20 years of experience under her belt, Kate has an effortless knack of seeing the end result and the path to get there. Kate works with all of our clients doing the things (aka the legal work) as well as providing strategic direction for matters.
These days, you’ll find Kate on the road while she travels around with her pug, Edgar and is getting into running (away from what, were not sure, but we have an idea 🤭).
