Property Settlement and Financial Matters

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.

Alternative Dispute Resolution is often more time and cost effective and allows parties to move forward in a positive direction.

There are different resolution options and we aim to pursue the resolution path which is right for you, ensuring you are supported throughout the process.

Alternative dispute resolution options for our clients can include:

• Negotiation
• Settlement
• Mediation
• Arbitration

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

Financial Agreements

A Financial Agreement (commonly known as a pre-nup) is a private contract between two people which can be entered into:

Our specialised family law team has the expertise and experience to support you through the process of entering into a Financial Agreement, which can safeguard your assets and avoid the potential financial and emotional toll of a relationship breakdown.

We will work with you to help you understand your rights and entitlements when entering into or considering a Financial Agreement.
