About Us

Our lawyers have conducted court cases in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA), State Supreme Courts and the High Court of Australia. Whether your case involves a 50 million dollar business or a suburban house, you can be confident we know how to handle it and will work towards the best result for you.

With our experienced advice, guidance and representation, many of our clients are able to achieve timely property settlements through a Mediation process, thus avoiding the expense, delay and stress of Family Law Court Proceedings. However, some cases cannot be settled (e.g. where there is a spouse who refuses to negotiate on reasonable terms) and it becomes necessary to initiate court proceedings in order to promote our client’s best interests. You will have the benefit of the firm’s sound knowledge and experience in knowing when it is best to litigate in Court and knowing when it is best to settle out of Court.

Cases involving children need to be handled sensitively, but they can also sometimes require quick action to avoid long-term emotional damage to children. We have the experience, the knowledge and the resources to advise on the best way to protect the interests of our clients and their children. Should the need arise, we will recommend experienced counsellors and psychologists to assist in achieving a sensible outcome.
