Family and legal circumstances rarely stay the same. Separation, parenting changes, new relationships, ageing, incapacity, and death are often interconnected, yet they are traditionally treated as separate legal issues.
Our practice is built around a transitional law approach, recognising where family law and estate law intersect and ensuring clients receive advice that considers both their present circumstances and their future.
As a sole practitioner with over 10 years’ experience in family law and experience in estate law, we provide continuity of advice through life’s transitions, without the need to move between firms or repeatedly re-explain your situation.

One lawyer who understands your matter over time, not just at a single point.

Advice that looks beyond the immediate issue to the longer-term legal and personal consequences.

Clear explanations, practical guidance, and realistic advice at every stage.

An understanding that family transitions are often emotional as well as legal.
Many clients first seek advice during a family law matter, only to later realise that earlier decisions affect their estate planning, or vice versa.
Common crossover issues include:
By addressing these issues together, clients are better protected and less likely to face future disputes.
If you are navigating a legal transition and want advice that considers the full picture, we can assist.
