Family Law & Protecting Your Business
Running a small business is challenging, particularly if you are also managing a relationship breakdown. Family law matters are stressful and decisions made during that process can impact your business and ongoing financial stability.
With substantial amendments to the Family Law Act coming into effect on 10 June 2025, which mandate a consideration of how family violence has impacted a person’s ability to make financial and non-financial contributions, it’s crucial to understand how these changes will impact you.
Join us for an informative event led by Katie Burreket, Accredited Family Law Specialist from Broun Abrahams Burreket Lawyers. This session is designed to provide a clear overview of the recent legal reforms and practical strategies to help you protect your business interests during family law proceedings.
Please Note: This workshop will provide general information and is not intended as specific legal advice.
Empower yourself with knowledge and practical tools to navigate the complexities of family law while protecting the business you’ve worked hard to build.
In this workshop we will:
- Understand the New Family Law Amendments: Gain insights into the latest changes, including how exposure to family violence and the need for appropriate housing are relevant considerations in property settlements
- Recognise Economic Abuse: Learn how behaviors such as controlling access to cash funds, sabotaging employment opportunities, recklessly reducing asset values or accumulating debt in a partner’s name may be relevant
- How to: Understand what types of evidence assist to establish claims of coercive control or economic abuse in the context of property settlements.
- Protect Your Business Assets: Explore proactive steps you can implement to help retain your business, understand how businesses are valued in family law, and learn how retaining income-producing assets may influence property settlements.
- Live Case Study: Katie will present a real-life scenario illustrating the application of the amendments and the strategies.
