Kiera is one of Australia’s most experienced electoral, political and campaign lawyers.

Representing NGOs, political parties, candidates, and advocacy organisations, Kiera has built a reputation for handling high-profile, impactful cases. Since 2019 she has played a pivotal role in state and federal elections, as well as the 2023 Voice referendum.

Key cases include:

Kiera's career in constitutional and public law, along with over a decade in commercial litigation, equips her to provide practical expert advice to those engaging at the forefront of the political process.

In 2024, Kiera founded Ripple, a boutique firm dedicated to strengthening Australia’s legal and democratic frameworks.
