For many clients, family law property and financial settlements could be their first and only experience of the law, lawyers, courts, negotiations, mediations, and settlements.

We will provide you with clear and sensible advice as to your entitlements. We may not tell you what you want to hear – we will tell you what you need to hear and know.

We believe that all property and financial settlements are not restricted to legal advice only and we look to work closely with your preferred financial, accounting and taxation advisors to ensure that the advice you receive from us is a holistic approach for you and your financial circumstances.

We assist clients with alternative dispute resolution including:

• Negotiation
• Mediation

We understand that every matter is different, so we tailor our approach to your individual needs and circumstances.  Contact our family law team today.
