Strategic agreements

Strategic agreements create certainty. We help couples agree on property division and spousal maintenance in advance or after separation, tailoring terms to your goals while ensuring enforceability with the required independent advice certificates.

When a financial agreement makes sense

  • Starting or growing a business or professional practice
  • Bringing significant assets into a relationship or forming a blended family
  • Clarifying outcomes for de facto partners or after engagement
  • Settling property and maintenance after separation without court

What we do

  • Draft clear, comprehensive terms that reflect contributions and future plans
  • Coordinate independent legal advice for both parties to support validity
  • Align with tax, superannuation and estate planning considerations in consultation with your accountant or adviser

Clarity and enforceability

We avoid vague clauses, ensure full disclosure and build review mechanisms where appropriate so the agreement remains practical over time. Where a relationship has ended, a financial agreement can finalise settlement efficiently without filing consent orders, or it can complement orders where appropriate.

A financial agreement can be varied or set aside in specific situations, such as fraud, coercion, or if there has been a significant change in circumstances. Our financial agreement lawyers can review your document and advise whether a new agreement is needed.
