Jeremy has close to 40 years of experience practicing in Family law and became an Accredited Family Law Specialist in 1994. He provides legal advice on all aspects of Family Law including divorce, complex property settlements, parenting arrangements, international child relocation, Hague Convention matters, domestic partnerships (including de facto and same-sex relationships) and binding financial agreements.

Jeremy also specialises in property transactions in the Family Law jurisdiction and consequently has particular experience in bankruptcy and creditor protection. Jeremy has extensive experience in mediation, negotiation and litigation of complex property and commercial Family Law matters. He has a particular interest in the relationship between the Corporations Code and the protection of third-party interests in the Family Law jurisdiction.

Following extensive amendments to the Family Law Act in July 2006, Jeremy was successful in establishing the Legal Advice Service being the Family Law legal advice component of the Family Relationship Advice Line – an initiative of the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department and role which continues until today.

Heavily involved in the general Family Law community, Jeremy takes an active interest in the promotion of greater awareness of Family Law in the community at large, including the practice of Collaborative Law. Jeremy played a key role in chairing the Organising Committee of the 2006 National Family Law Conference.

In November 2010, Jeremy was very proud to be appointed as a member to the Family Law Council by the Commonwealth Attorney-General, Mr Robert McClelland, and served a three-year term on the Council.
