We assist clients with all aspects of family law, from amicable separations to complex disputes. Our services include unopposed divorces, handled efficiently with minimal stress, as well as contested divorces requiring full legal representation. We prepare parenting plans and custody agreements that prioritise children’s well-being, and draft cohabitation and antenuptial contracts tailored to each couple’s needs. We also provide legal guidance on maintenance matters and help secure protection orders in cases of domestic violence. Costs vary depending on the complexity of each case — contact us to discuss your needs.

Estate planning is more than preparing documents – it’s about creating a clear, legally sound roadmap for the future to protect your assets, honour your wishes, and provide security for your loved ones. Our service includes strategic will drafting, establishing and administering trusts, and guiding you through estate administration with efficiency and care. We also assist with curatorship applications where protection of vulnerable individuals is needed. With a personalised approach, we consider your unique circumstances, family dynamics, and financial goals to deliver a plan that offers both peace of mind and practical protection.

Our additional services are designed to meet a wide range of legal needs with efficiency and precision. We provide notarial services, including the drafting and authentication of ante-nuptial contracts, affidavits, and other formal legal documents. Our team assists landlords and tenants in resolving disputes over leases, deposits, and property obligations, as well as advising on consumer protection matters to ensure your rights are upheld in cases involving defective goods, services, or warranties. We also draft clear, enforceable contracts for employment, service provision, and other personal or business arrangements. Where court litigation may not be the best path, we offer mediation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to achieve fair, cost-effective outcomes.
