Lawyer, Mediator & Advisor
Tina Ng is a solicitor, accredited mediator and organisational advisor with more than 18 years of experience in the legal profession. She is the Founder and Principal Solicitor of Metta Resolution, where she provides legal services, mediation, conflict resolution and advisory support to individuals, organisations and community groups.
Tina was admitted to the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the High Court of Australia and has extensive experience across a broad range of legal matters, including family law, child protection, adoption, court litigation, property law, wills and estates, guardianship, mental health advocacy, and matters involving not-for-profit and community organisations.
Her legal practice is complemented by her work as an accredited mediator. Tina assists people and organisations to navigate conflict constructively, with a focus on understanding the underlying issues, improving communication and developing practical and sustainable resolutions. Her approach recognises that many disputes involve not only legal issues, but also relationships, communication, expectations and organisational dynamics.
Tina also provides strategic and organisational advisory services, particularly to not-for-profit and community organisations. She works alongside boards, leaders and teams to identify underlying challenges, review internal practices and systems, strengthen leadership and governance, and develop practical approaches to organisational development. Rather than simply providing answers, Tina seeks to build the capability of organisations and their people to understand and address challenges themselves.
She has designed and facilitated workshops, seminars, leadership programs and team-building activities in Australia and internationally, helping participants develop stronger communication, collaboration, leadership and conflict-resolution skills.
Qualifications & Professional Experience
Tina holds a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws from the University of New South Wales and a Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice from the College of Law. She completed her mediation training at Bond University, Queensland, and is an accredited mediator.
She is the founder and former Principal Solicitor of the successful law firm, Metta Legal.
Community & Buddhist Experience
Alongside her professional work, Tina has a longstanding involvement in Buddhist and community initiatives. She is the founder of the Metta Centre, a non-sectarian Buddhist organisation that runs weekly and special events (such as talks, meditation classes, retreats, pilgrimages, temple tours, conferences and festivals). Tina has worked with Buddhist communities in Australia and internationally on organisational development, leadership, volunteer management and conflict resolution.
This experience has given Tina a particular understanding of the challenges faced by volunteer-led and not-for-profit organisations. She also draws on Buddhist principles of compassion, understanding and non-harm in her approach to working with people and resolving conflict.
Tina has facilitated Buddhist and community workshops, talks and conferences and serves as a Buddhist Chaplain at Western Sydney University. She has also been involved in mentoring, community events and charitable initiatives.
A practical and people-focused approach
Whether working as a lawyer, mediator or advisor, Tina brings together legal expertise, practical problem-solving and an understanding of people and organisations.
Her aim is not simply to resolve the immediate issue, but to help clients and organisations develop greater clarity, confidence and capacity to move forward.
Understand the issue. Resolve the conflict. Empower the future.
