When a relationship breaks down,
you need support
The breakdown of a partnership is undoubtedly one of the most painful and stressful experiences that any of us can experience in life. When your situation involves a dispute over shared property or the welfare of children, the pressure can quickly feel overwhelming.
When your family is facing tough times, seeking high quality legal advice is essential – but it’s only half of the battle. Above all, you need someone in your corner who understands what you’re going through – and whom you can trust to not only act in your best interests but to provide you with honest, straight forward and timely advice.
We cut to the heart of what matters
Our highly experienced family law team specialises in mediation and focusing on alternate dispute resolution mechanisms. Taking a holistic approach to family disputes, our focus is always, first and foremost, on the wellbeing of children and getting you through the process as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Our team are strong believers in compassionate advocacy and focus on cost-effective, swift resolution methods which minimise emotion and stress. Above all, our clients can expect to be treated with respect and honesty as we strive for an outcome which will allow them to move forwards with their lives.
Helping you to move on
Passionate about supporting children as much as possible through the separation process, we act in a wide range of parenting disputes, from custody arrangements to education, travel and healthcare decisions. Our advice also covers even the most complex of financial disputes over shared property and business assets.
Despite our extensive litigation experience, we place a firm emphasis on the use of ADR procedures as standard. We encourage families to explore the formal and informal pathways most suited to their case, including arbitration, court annexed mediation, FDR and collaborative law processes.
In the majority of cases, we are successful in our efforts to shield families from protracted and costly court proceedings. However, in the rare instances where litigation cannot be avoided, we have a strong track record of successful outcomes in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
