It is at distressing times, like when a relationship breaks down, that a caring approach and personalised service really count. That is what our team of experienced family lawyers is all about. They do all that they can to make the legal aspects of family breakdown as straightforward as possible. They take that time to listen and to understand. They give sensible and realistic advice.

Our approach is to try to resolve family law disputes quickly and cost effectively. Often the parties to a relationship breakdown have to continue to communicate, especially when children are involved. Our aim is to minimise the damage to that ongoing communication.

Some disputes can't be easily sorted out. In those cases we have the skills and experience to take the matter to court and to advocate strongly on your behalf.

One of our partners, John Swift, worked for many years as a commercial solicitor. That invaluable experience is something John can bring to bear when sorting out complex property disputes. John is also one of the few South Australian practitioners who is an Accredited Specialist in Family Law of the Law Society of New South Wales.
