Divorce & Separation – Splitting up raises a lot of issues including relationship property and how the children will be cared for. I can help with those issues.
Death & Estates– When a loved one dies things can become complicated. I can guide people through the various processes and help take some stresses out of an already stressful and difficult time.
Left out of a will? – If you believe you have not been treated fairly under a will, you may be able to challenge it, especially if you are a partner or child, or if the deceased promised to look after you before they died.
Family Trusts - can protect you and your assets and safeguard them for your children. They are not as complicated as you might think.
Buying and selling a home – I provide a very competitively priced but personal service.
Care of children – I advise families when the care arrangements for the children need to be looked or when people are going to adopt or enter into a "home for life" arrangement.
Commercial property – If you are looking at developing, buying, selling or leasing commercial premises I can provide the experience and a commercial insight to help you get a good business result.
Contracts – I help people avoid pitfalls and “small print” traps in contracts. I review and advise on the paperwork without “over – lawyering” and running up excessive and unnecessary costs.
Buying or selling a business – I can advise on business structures and potential risks involved in buying and selling, or setting up, a business.
Employment – If you think you haven’t been treated properly by your employer, I can guide and assist you through the process. Most employment disputes can be settled satisfactorily.
Disputes –someone may threaten to sue you or you may need to consider taking legal action against someone else. I help people get results in these situations.
Bankruptcy & Insolvency – if you run a business you need to be aware of you obligations when things aren’t going so well. You also need to protect yourself when people you deal with go broke or look like they are going to. I have a lot of experience dealing with these situations.
