Our Range of Services

We assist with divorce, child custody, property settlements and spousal maintenance. Our family law services also cover parenting arrangements, financial agreements and court representation to help clients navigate legal processes.

Planning for the future requires legal documentation. We help draft wills, powers of attorney and enduring guardianship documents to support clients in protecting their assets and formalise their wishes.

Handling an estate can involve a variety of legal and financial steps. We assist executors and beneficiaries with probate applications, asset distribution and estate administration, aiming to ensure compliance with legal obligations.

Disagreements over inheritance can require legal intervention. We assist with contested wills, estate disputes and family provision claims. Our goal is to help clients resolve conflicts and protect their legal rights.

Business sales, lease agreements and legal compliance all influence how businesses operate. We assist with structuring transactions, preparing documentation and meeting regulatory obligations.

Disputes may arise in contracts, property matters and business dealings. We provide representation for negotiations, mediation and court proceedings to help resolve legal conflicts.

Mortgage agreements and guarantor responsibilities can involve legal risks. We review contracts, outline financial obligations and provide guidance with the goal of ensuring informed decision-making.

We can assist with conveyancing services such as contracts, title transfers and settlements for residential, commercial and rural properties. Transactions can involve detailed legal processes, so we aim to secure smooth transactions.

Certain documents can require legal certification for international or official use. We can notarise affidavits, statutory declarations, contracts and other legal documents, aiming to ensure the necessary requirements for recognition and validity are met.

Legal costs can create financial barriers in family law matters. We help clients secure JustFund support for financial matters, aiming to make legal representation more accessible.
