About
Hello, I'm Sangeeta Thaker.
I'm a passionate individual with two main interests in life - living life to the fullest and practicing law.
My legal journey in Australia began in 1999 when I joined the commercial law team at Ryan Maloney Anderson in Mildura, North West Victoria, after working as a junior in-house shipping lawyer in Singapore. I swapped boarding ships with boarding houseboats. 😉
During my time in Mildura, I gained valuable experience and found my passion for working with property developers. More importantly it gave me the best introduction to all things Australian and I found my Australian mates.
In 2008, we moved to Melbourne and since then, I've worked in several mid-tier firms with strong property teams, building my expertise across industries. I've also worked in-house where I have had the opportunity to work closely with the board and with teams of skilled professionals in property management, acquisition, environmental, planning and construction.
What about loving life? – I hear you ask. Bumped into my partner in 1997, fell in love and moved countries to be with him (all in 6 months). We built our first home together in Mildura and moved in 2 weeks before our first born made her entry into this world (did I mention I don’t do things by halves?)
The move to Melbourne brought unexpected challenges when my husband was diagnosed with GBM, a brain tumour. We fought valiantly but sadly lost him in December 2009. My girls were just 9 and 3 years old at the time.
I decided to continue to lead a life of passion in honour of his memory.
With support from my girls, I achieved accreditation as a property law specialist in 2013 and I completed a Masters in Construction Law in 2018, all while managing a full-time job, running my 2 girls to their various performing arts activities and gratefully taking opportunities to travel and see the world. Together, we have had lots of fun along the way.
