Overcoming Adversity and Fighting for Justice

Brigette Panetta has emerged as a powerful advocate for individuals facing social injustice and adversity. As the partner of James Mawhinney, founder of Media.com, Brigette has personally experienced the profound challenges of fighting against a government body. Over the past four years, she has witnessed the severe impact of Australia's corporate regulator, ASIC's, false allegations on her family’s investment business, Mayfair 101. This ordeal has deeply affected Brigette, her young family, and the lives of nearly 600 Australians.

Her journey began under extraordinary circumstances—two days after giving birth during the onset of the pandemic, Brigette found herself in ICU, recovering from a traumatic birthing experience while simultaneously supporting James through 26 legal hearings. The struggle resulted in losing their family home and enduring significant personal and professional setbacks. Despite these hardships, Brigette's resilience has driven her to speak out and assist others in similar predicaments.

Brigette is committed to creating a foundation to provide litigation funding and support for individuals battling injustices. She aims to offer a platform for people to share their stories and find solidarity in their experiences. In addition to her advocacy work, Brigette is passionate about holistic healing modalities. She has explored and benefited from practices such as breath work, meditation, kinesiology, and Reiki to overcome trauma and stress.
