We advise on all areas of family law, with a particular focus on the financial issues that arise when relationships are formalised or break down. Much of our work involves the negotiation and settlement of complex financial cases, often with an international perspective and further complicated by tax or trust issues. Our team commands a market leading reputation built over 100 years of practice.
The family law team is ably supported by in-house experts in other areas of the firm including Wealth Planning, Trust litigation, Corporate and Employment. The ability to draw upon their expertise makes us stand out from our competitors. Our dedicated reputational management team gives us a unique resource to assist in keeping private lives out of the glare of the media spotlight.
