A Sydney law firm for families with something to protect.
We act on family law, wills and estates, estate disputes, and Supreme Court property matters for Sydney families, including those whose most significant asset is the family home, and those with substantial property and business interests. Whatever its size, your matter deserves considered attention.
What we do
Our work concentrates on the legal matters that most directly shape a family's long-term future. How assets are divided when a relationship ends. How estates are structured for the generations that follow. How disputes over wills and inheritances are resolved. And how property held in family arrangements is unwound when those arrangements no longer work.
Family law
Property settlements involving investment portfolios, family businesses, and superannuation. Parenting arrangements. Binding financial agreements before, during, and after marriage. Granny flat agreements where they sit in a family law context.

Family Provision Act claims, contested probate, and disputes between executors and beneficiaries. We act for both claimants and estates, in negotiation and in the NSW Supreme Court.

Section 66G applications, severing joint tenancy, lodging and contesting caveats, and partition proceedings. These matters often arise from a separation, a deceased estate, or a granny flat arrangement that has broken down.
Learn moreWho we act for
We act for Sydney families and individuals at moments where the structure of what they have built is at stake. A separation, the drafting of a will, the administration of an estate, a dispute over an inheritance, or the breakdown of a family property arrangement.
Some of our clients have property portfolios, family businesses, and blended households. Others have a single home that has become their family's most significant asset over thirty years of careful work. Both have something to protect, and both deserve counsel that takes their matter seriously.
We are based in Riverwood, in Sydney's south, and we meet clients in the city by appointment.
The lawyer who takes your matter stays on it.
Every matter is run by an experienced lawyer in the relevant practice area, from first meeting to last. They do the substantive work: the advice, the strategy, the drafting, the court appearances. Routine tasks that do not require senior judgement are handled by junior lawyers and legal assistants working under their direction, which keeps your costs proportionate to the work being done.
We take on a deliberately limited number of clients each year, and we only work with clients we align with, so that no one is lost in a queue. Fees are quoted clearly at the outset and discussed candidly throughout.
