SMALL BUSINESS AND FAMILY LAW

Words of Warning - Family Law conflict and running a small business don't mix.  There have been countless times when we have seen the family income suffer as a result of the relationship breakdown.  Quite often the business has been the only income and employment of both parties. When separation occurs the results can have an extreme negative impact on the family's income and the potential complete failure of the small business.

Avoid court proceedings.  Where ever possible avoiding court proceedings can minimise the escalation of conflict. The best way to resolve conflict involving small business is to engage with lawyers who practice collaboratively or in the more formal sense of collaborative law.  The alternative is to engage in mediation with  or without the involvement of lawyers in the mediation process.

Commencing high conflict rigorous negotiations and/or court proceedings may put the family run business at risk of failure or financial loss and damage the relationship between the parties.

Free Advice - Why we don't provide it.

Many legal firms (particularly family law firms) offer a brief free consultation.  Most of our client's are looking for concise and considered advice, focusing on methods of resolution and consideration of their individual personal circumstances.  You can't achieve that in 10 or 20 minutes.  We offer a one hour consultation during which we can listen to your particular unique circumstances, give an initial advice about possible court based outcomes, and more importantly educate you about how to resolve issues without the necessity of going to court.

You won't get that in a free advice session.  What you are likely to get is a sales pitch and/or promises of outcomes that might sound attractive but ultimately won't be achieved at the end of the day.

So now you know why we don't offer free advice.  If it's free it usually has no value.  Get professional considered family law advice.  Call us now on
