Complex Property & Business Owners

Clear, commercially minded advice when your property settlement involves a business, trusts, investments or significant superannuation.

HOW WE CAN HELP

When there is more at stake, clarity matters

Separating is hard enough. When your finances include a business, a family trust, investment properties, shares or large superannuation balances, the decisions you make now have long-term consequences for you and your family.

Family law looks at property broadly. It can include things owned in your name, in both names, or through a family trust or business, and you may still have rights to property even if your name is not on the ownership papers. (Source: Victoria Legal Aid)

This service is designed for business owners, professionals, and families with investments, trusts or significant superannuation. We combine family law expertise with commercial judgement, in English or Spanish.
