Family law and domestic violence
Rarely a single legal issue
Separating from an abusive relationship affects more than one decision. Choices about personal safety may also affect parenting arrangements, access to finances, property settlements, business interests and the way your matter should be resolved.
Our lawyers take the time to understand the complete picture before recommending a course of action.
Safety and legal protection
Understand the legal protections available to you and how safety concerns may affect the wider family law process.
Parenting and children
Strategic advice about parenting arrangements, risk, communication and the best interests of your children.
Property and complex assets

Negotiation and representation
The most appropriate pathway for your circumstances — negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and court proceedings where required.
