Danielle Jaku-Greenfield

Danielle Jaku-Greenfield joined the AMDRAS Board in 2025 and brings extensive experience in family law and mediation.

Following some years working in print journalism, Danielle started her journey in family law. Since 2002, she has worked in family law in various capacities, starting as a solicitor in both private practice and in a community legal centre.

After two years in Cambridge, UK, from where she completed her Master of Laws by thesis, she moved into mediation, becoming a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner, in 2007. 

Since then, Danielle has mediated in both private practice and the community sector and written and published books for children of separating families. 

Danielle has also lectured in undergraduate family law, and since 2010 in postgraduate family law at The College of Law. Since 2014, she has also been training future mediators and providing group and individual supervision.

Currently, she spends most of her week in community sector family dispute resolution, offering an exclusively online and subsidised mediation service to separated parents all over Australia, and the disability community.

She also contributes to negotiation workshops at UNSW, runs workshops for solicitors in all areas of law to upskill them when representing clients at mediation, and coaches and assesses for The College of Law in their Graduate Diploma of Family Dispute Resolution and mediation courses. Danielle’s private practice is now focused on individual conflict coaching for anyone walking into a difficult conversation.

In her spare time, Danielle escapes to the bush or the beach with her husband, three kids and two dogs.
