Our Values

Our People

We have big firm skills, coupled with the empathy and interpersonal skills to offer personalised care to each person we have the privilege to advise, care for and guide through a relationship breakdown – in keeping with their goals not ours.

Optimism and Kindness

We embrace optimism. Life can be hard, practice can be hard –negativity makes it much harder. Each member of our team is optimistic, we love what we do and who we do it with. A third our lives are spent together– we want to enjoy it.

High Standards and Pursuit of Excellence

We expect excellence from ourselves in practice and demand it from others. Each affidavit is drafted with bespoke artisan care. Each application prepared with exhaustive attention to legislation and the newest cases in family law, tax and estate planning. We have a low tolerance for ‘average’.

Ownership & Drive

We believe trust is earned. To earn it from our clients and partners requires that we first earn it from one another. We do what we say and don’t require others to remind us of our commitments. We are accountable to one another and our clients.

Balance

The best people hold a diversity of interest, a broad perspective informed by life and professional experience. We value an even mood, a healthy lifestyle and a schedule that allows for all of the above. We pursue excellence in our professional life and personal lives – we promote, fund and embrace wellness in nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and physical health.

Common Sense & Self Regulation

It is not something that is taught at university, but something that is learned in life. We are paid to think and to respond, not to react. We self-regulate, pay attention to detail and execute every task with conscious considered thought.
