Faran Gouldson

Faran Gouldson
Principal (Legal Practice Director)

Faran has been in the legal game since his admission as a solicitor in December 1996, 25 short years and is the driving force behind our innovative, people focused approach. He commenced Gouldson Legal in late 1998 with the sole aim of providing a specialist personal litigation service that focused on the client, and providing solutions specific to their needs.

When he isn’t in the office leading our impressive legal team, he can be found doing plenty of unpaid Uber driving for his two teenage daughters, and if he has his way, being somewhere close to the beach with his daughters, surfing and taking in the sunshine.

He also has two great big dogs, Harriet and Hugo, the Groodles, who feature in some of the firm’s promotional material and their own Instagram account @gouldsondogs. Keep an eye out for their antics. It’s always good for a laugh.

Thank you so so much Kaine, we truly appreciate everything you’ve done!!

Thank you very much.
