Family Violence

We provide advice and representation in relation to Protection Orders, whether applying or responding. We also help with Occupation Orders, Ancillary Furniture Orders, and applying to discharge final Protection Orders. These cases require a steady, informed approach—something we’re well equipped to offer.

Births, Deaths, Marriages

We help clients with applications under the BDM Act, including declarations around sex or gender, name changes, and related appeals. These matters often require clear legal reasoning and well-prepared documents, which is where we come in.

Appeals

We can advise on your options if you’re considering an appeal and are able to provide representation in the High Court and above. We have experience appealing complex legal matters and bring careful analysis and sound legal judgement to every case.

Adoption

We advise on all matters pertaining to adoption. We ensure that each step of the legal process is handled thoroughly and with care, so you know exactly what’s required and what to expect.

PPPR (Protection of Personal and Property Rights)
