Our approach to your divorce or family law case

We take time to understand the issues our clients face, and help them achieve the best possible outcome both in relation to their children and their finances.

 

Our approach to children matters

Our team of specialist children lawyers have extensive expertise and experience in all areas of private children law including disputes over contact and residence, international and domestic relocations and child abduction, as well as applications for financial provision for children. We regularly act for clients in highly contentious and complex disputes involving the care and living arrangements for their children.

Our strength is our ability to harness our vast range of experience to provide solutions tailored to each family’s unique needs.

 

Our divorce and family law expertise

Our lawyers have particular expertise in unravelling complicated trusts, identifying assets held within companies and advising on complex cross-border issues.  Through our Professional Practices Group, we have extensive experience in acting for high net worth professionals or their spouses.

Our team is at the forefront of taking a collaborative approach to divorce and family issues and, when appropriate, we use arbitration and mediation as an alternative to court proceedings.

When required, we are supported by experts in our Tax Litigation and Trust and Probate Litigation teams, and select law firms in other jurisdictions.
