Experience
Having worked exclusively in family law since 2018, Lauren has a broad range of experience in family law matters, including:
- marital, de facto and same sex relationships
- complex property matters, including those with notional asset pools, and dealing with trust and corporate entity and estate considerations
- pre and post nuptial binding financial agreements, including where parties wish to quarantine generational or familial wealth, or to protect certain assets
- spousal maintenance applications
- complex parenting matters involving drug and alcohol abuse, mental health issues, a history of domestic violence, criminal charges and parental alienation
- urgent recovery applications where children have been withheld from their primary parent, or unilaterally relocated by one parent
- domestic and family violence.
Career highlights
- successfully securing an order for the urgent return of a child to their primary parent, after the other parent withheld the child following separation
- successfully assisting a client to recover their child from a third party who had cared for the child whilst Lauren's client was in hospital. The third party did not agree to return the child to Lauren's client. Orders were made for the child to be returned to Lauren's client
- successfully challenging a complex business valuation to ensure the adoption of correct methodology and a valuation that was favourable to the client and aligned with their understanding of their business.
Client feedback
”I can't begin to even thank you for everything that you have done for me and for your unwavered support and expertise in helping me to achieve the outcome that I have got. I have waited for three years to be able to start my life and to truly start living and now I am finally able to do that. It's been such a traumatic couple of years on top of what was a very hard 10 years of my life and I feel like now, I can finally be free. I can breathe again. Thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity to be your client and for assisting me the way you both have. I am so truly grateful. I am still in quite some shock with the outcome and that there is now a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I am yet to feel relief as I still have not quite processed it all, but I am so appreciative to now be able to truly make my own financial decisions and to be able to settle into not just a house, but a home. You have no idea how much this means to me and how much you have impacted my life in a positive way. I honestly will never forget it. I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart."
"Thank you so much for all your help so far in representing me and my interests in the past year or so! I felt very well represented!"
"I have been meaning to reach out all afternoon to thank you both from the bottom of my heart for your support, guidance and help over the last few years. It really has made navigating this process so much easier knowing you have been in my corner. I know this is your job, and you do it every day, but I really am so very grateful to you both."
