19.01.2022 We are a (relatively) young office. Over the last few years our office has been personally affected by family, friends and colleagues cancer diagnoses but last year we were especially touched by the Mitchell's. They are a young, local, amazing family and we couldn't be prouder to support the 100km pink ribbon relay.

18.01.2022 Introducing Daisy Daisy joined us years ago as our receptionist and we are lucky to now have her join our legal team as a junior lawyer. We can't wait to see all the things you will accomplish throughout what we know will be a very successful legal career

17.01.2022 Grand Final weekend is a highlight of the year for many us. Unfortunately it anticipated that it will coincide with a massive increase in family violence incidents. You can #playyourpart by: raising awareness, calling out unacceptable behaviours, ... seeking help if you're worried about your own behaviour, seeking help if you're worried about someone else. If you are in danger, call 000 now. If you, or someone you know is experiencing family violence contact 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732 - National) or DVConnect (1800 811 811 - QLD) If you are concerned about your behaviour, call 1300 766 491 (National) or DV Connect Mensline (1800 600 636) @dvconnectqld @1800respect_australia

10.01.2022 Christmas is a special time of year and Christmas with children is extra special. But for many it can be an extremely stressful time of year, especially for separated families. Each year we get swamped with calls from frantic parents who are struggling to agree on Christmas arrangements for their children. Unfortunately, most professional services (counsellors, lawyers etc) close down over the Christmas period leaving families alone to try and navigate a resolution. Avoid this and alleviate your stress by making a plan, a very specific plan to avoid any last minute disagreements. If you haven't already - start having those conversations now, make your plans now and if you need assistance contact us. #opslawyers #christmas2020

09.01.2022 Time is running out to enter Entries close tomorrow at 9am.
