Tanya's work highlights

Advising a client in a complex relocation and schooling case

We acted for a client in a complex relocation and schooling case involving a young child. Medical evidence was required in relation to both parents, along with multiple witness evidence. We successfully argued against a fact-finding hearing and reached a negotiated settlement.

Advising a client in relation to a complex cross jurisdictional finance case

We acted for a client in relation to their divorce and financial remedy proceedings, with cross jurisdiction complexities and various company and security/enforcement issues. We advised the client on all aspects of the case and settled the case following a successful negotiation.
