Ria Berezanski

Employment Lawyer

Ria was admitted to the profession in November 2025 and commenced her career in corporate law and family law. With a passion for employment law, she joined Rubix Legal in June 2026.

In corporate and commercial matters, she worked closely with entrepreneurs on structuring and restructuring their businesses, helping bring their long-held ambitions to life. Her time in family law gave her a different kind of reward: supporting people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives and helping them move forward toward a brighter future.

Understanding that workplace issues can be just as personal and difficult to navigate, Ria is excited to switch lanes and focus on helping employees find clarity and support when dealing with workplace challenges.

Ria is drawn to the human side of the law as much as the legal detail. She likes being part of people’s journeys, whatever stage they’re at.

Outside the office, she’s still a devoted fan of 80s hair rock, and once upon a time she was the one behind the drum kit.
