Hayder Shkara

Hayder Shkara’s journey from Olympic athlete to legal leader is anything but conventional. After representing Australia at the Rio Olympics in 2016, he turned his passion for discipline and justice into founding his own law firm in 2017 — a move that laid the foundation for his role at Collective Family Law.

Hayder brings deep expertise in family law, including financial and property settlements, parenting arrangements, divorce, wills and estates, consent orders, and binding financial agreements. He’s a compelling advocate in the courtroom and a trusted guide for clients navigating life’s most complex transitions.

With a double degree in Law and Communications from the University of Technology Sydney, Hayder merges legal precision with clear, empathetic communication. Across the Collective Family Law network, he mentors legal professionals, cultivates collaboration, and ensures every matter receives thoughtful attention.

Whether he’s supporting his team through high-stakes litigation or enjoying a weekend hit out on the padel court, Hayder embodies purpose, resilience, and connection — core values that continue to shape the future of family law.
