We are proud to announce we have been named as a finalist in the Australian Law Awards for Law Firm of the Years 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025.
Award recipients represent a true cross section of the legal industry, recognising the contributions of the profession’s most senior ranks through to its rising stars.
The process of separation and divorce can be very daunting, particularly when it affects property, children, long-term goals or financial arrangements. You're dealing with the emotional weight of a significant life transition while working to understand the legal and financial implications of what comes next. Added complexities arising from established wealth, business interests, blended families or shared assets require experience that many general law firms simply may not have. Feeling uneasy, uncertain about whom to trust, or concerned by conflicting guidance, impersonal service and needless legal terminology is possible. Australian Family Lawyers is here to help with these concerns. With family law as our exclusive area of practice, we use plain language to help you make sense of your options, your current position and the legal steps that may follow. Following our merger with Watts McCray and Kordos Lawyers, we've grown into the nation's largest specialised family law firm, with a leading national team that includes a large number of Accredited Family Law Specialists. Thousands of families turn to us during some of the most difficult periods in their lives, and so can you if you've been searching for "Property Division Lawyer" or "Property Lawyer Brisbane". In 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025, our firm was also recognised as a finalist for the Australian Law Awards' Law Firm of the Year award.
Our lawyers approach every case with a settlement-first mindset because we know that reasonable negotiation and family mediation have the potential to spare you, your former partner and your children from the disruption of court proceedings. In fact, less than 5% of our matters ever reach a final hearing, with most being resolved through settlement. We provide the legal guidance for family mediation that makes these out-of-court resolutions possible. On the other hand, those looking for property settlement lawyers can trust our team to break down what's included in your property pool, help you identify assets and debts and advise you on securing the fairest possible outcome for your situation. You can also count on our child custody lawyers to advocate for you and your child, and we're even familiar with the specific hurdles faced by LGBTQ+ families in the family law system. For couples seeking clear expectations from the start, we can prepare Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) so you can enter into marriage or partnership with a common understanding. Through every stage, you stay informed, supported and able to make sound decisions, whether you're browsing for "Property Division Lawyer", "Prenuptial Agreement Attorney Near Me" or "Newcastle Family Lawyers".
We understand you want a clearly defined path forward, so we've kept each stage as simple as possible. Book a free phone appointment to speak directly with our team and learn more about the proceedings. Following the consultation, we'll set up a strategy session to consider your specific circumstances and develop a plan tailored to your needs. Should disagreements over property or parenting arrangements arise, we'll work with you closely to achieve a beneficial outcome. Our lawyers then take care of the negotiation with the goal of reaching a mutual agreement. When an agreement can't be achieved in this way, our team is prepared to assist you in a mediation or hearing. With family law offices in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Western Australia, the ACT and the Northern Territory, we bring you access to local expertise across Australia. We explain fees transparently, issuing a clear Costs Agreement and regular itemised invoices, so you can see where you stand. The same clarity applies when you ask us for guidance on topics like "Divorce Lawyers Adelaide" or "Best Family Attorney". Whether you want to learn more about "family law solicitor sydney" and "prenuptial agreements australia" or are ready to take action, contact us today.
