OUR LEGAL SERVICES
Australian Immigration Lawyers
Australia has become a much sought-after paradise destination for people seeking global migration and better lives. It is a stable constitutional monarchy, a liberal democracy and a first world country. It has a high standard of living, sound investment prospects, good growth, political and economic stability and excellent wages and conditions. It offers protection of individual rights by the well-established rule of law with roots in Great Britain, a keen sense of justice, a huge natural history and space with a relatively small population, a warmer climate and spiritual, religious and ethnic tolerance. There are strong traditions of the pursuit of sporting excellence, mateship, the ANZAC fighting spirit, support of Queen and country and of doing the right thing. Australia is the lucky country.
Criminal Law
There is a fundamental principle that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty, that they have the right to a fair trial and to not self-incriminate. Defendants have the right to confidential and privileged legal advice, which can’t be used against them. These are common law principles and rights.
Family Law
In property adjustment cases, there is no presumption of equality. The 50:50 split is not a principle of law or a right. The wife’s homemaker and parent contribution ought to be recognised in a substantial and not a token way. Any property adjustment will be contribution driven. With children’s and parenting time cases, there is a presumption of equal shared parenting responsibility, however, the best interests of a child will always be first and paramount and rebut that presumption.
Business Law – Banking, Securities, Derivatives law
We prepare contracts and agreements for business clients including purchase, sale and contractor agreements, company and employment contracts and shareholder agreements . We advise client on commercial matters including banking and investments. A bank owes the customer a duty of care, which is to take reasonable care in carrying out its contractual obligations with the customer. A bank does not owe a fiduciary duty to a customer, except in special circumstances where it has gone further than normal. A bank has no general duty to advise a customer that a loan or a purchase is not a good decision. A bank can look after its own interests ahead of the customer. The playing field is not necessarily level. Our financial services as financial consulting, investment, securities and derivatives advice, structuring strategic investments, banking and financial planning and strategic decisions, helps level the playing field for customers both nationally and internationally.
