Sydney Family Property Lawyers
Specialist Family Lawyers for Complex Property Settlements
Strategic Advice. Trusted Support.
After more than 20 years working exclusively in Family Law, we understand that every separation is unique. We have acted for clients across a wide range of financial circumstances, including matters involving privately owned businesses, professional practices, family trusts, self-managed superannuation funds and complex asset structures.
Importantly, we understand that separation is not only about resolving legal issues. It is about helping people move forward in a way that protects what matters most to them — whether that is their children, their financial security, their business interests, or their ability to transition into the next stage of life with confidence and stability.
Experience matters in these situations. Not only in understanding the law, but in recognising the issues that are likely to become important later, identifying risks early, and helping clients make clear and informed decisions during what is often an emotionally difficult period.
Wishing you clarity and confidence as you move forward.

5 Stars almost seem not enough!!
I have referred a couple friends to Delaney Roberts who were both disappointed and disenfranchised with their current representation. Clare McAteer handled their matters and the feedback I got from them was that Clare was nothing short of exceptional! She was attentive, professional as well as kind and empathetic in what was very emotional and difficult times for them.

Anna made me feel like I was in control.
Anna talked me through to procedures required, organized all the paperwork involved and made me feel like I was in control. She knew exactly what had to be done and kept in touch through the entire process. I found her to be very understanding and professional during this rather difficult time in my life.
