Australian Law


We work with Australian lawyers on a full range of matters, mostly family law. We also deal with inheritance issues between the U.K and Australia and obtaining skilled representation in Australia for clients living in Europe. We advise local authorities and others as to Australian law. Henry Brookman has been accepted as an expert witness in the High Court.
 

Australian Law - Scenario Analysis Example


Mr and Mrs B moved to Australia in retirement. They separated and their lawyers there were negotiating a financial settlement. They owned two houses in Australia. Mr B had a substantial pension from the U.K. They also owned a commercial property in England held through an offshore corporation.

Our Solution:
We advised Mr B's Australian lawyers as to how a share of his pension could be directed to Mrs B, and how to assess the value of that. We also advised as to whether an Australian order could be effective to deal with the commercial property, and what could be done to effect an agreed settlement if Mrs B gave up any claim to it. Subsequently we obtained "mirror" consent orders in England.
