SUCCESSION + FAMILY + COMMERCIAL + MEDIATION

I am an experienced family law barrister, having conducted numerous trials and appeals both as a solicitor and as a barrister.

Parenting trials are one of the most demanding areas of legal practice.  The parties' emotions run hot.  And the stakes cannot be higher, as the relationships between children and their parents are on the line.

Experienced counsel should be involved in the case as early as possible.

Contravention applications, although fairly common in parenting cases, also benefit from expert representation and advice from counsel.

Property proceedings, like many court actions, are often resolved before trial.  But in those cases that run to a final hearing, it is essential to retain experienced counsel who can provide strategic expertise.

If an appeal is being considered, the transcript of the hearing should be obtained urgently and counsel's advice should promptly be sought on the prospects of appeal.
