GPG Lawyers

GPG Lawyers provide high quality professional legal services in all aspects of Family Law, Wills and Estates. We also provide services in the areas of family violence, conveyancing,  employment law, traffic offences and criminal matters.

Our family law services include post-separation parenting and property matters, surrogacy and binding financial agreements (which most people know as ‘pre-nups’ even though they can be agreed at any stage of a relationship). 

Each of our lawyers bring their individual experiences in both the public and private sectors to provide quality, efficient and accurate legal advice following the breakdown of a relationship or the loss of a loved one. 

We understand that people are looking for practical and workable solutions when navigating their legal matter and not every legal problem requires or should be put to lengthy and costly court litigation. We pride ourselves on giving realistic, clear and tailored advice. Our focus is always on the client, their circumstances and their story and we bring care, skill and attention to every matter. We focus on the big picture while not missing the finer details.

We love when matters settle out of court so that parties can move on with their lives, but we also don’t shy away from the court room and will advocate strongly and confidently for our clients when litigation is necessary.  

We are connected with accountants, financial planners, superannuation experts and psychologists in the wider professional community who often play a vital role in family and estate law and can provide our clients with referrals to these important advisers to ensure they can make informed decisions every step of the way. 

We’re here to help.

Virage Legal Family Lawyers

Our family lawyers have the skills and the expertise to assist you in any financial or parenting matters.

Family law is not about winning or losing. This does not mean we will not pursue the best possible outcome for you. The key thing is realistic advice and workable solutions that save you money, time and, most importantly, sanity. We will provide you with such advice at every stage of your matter.

We will negotiate the best possible outcome for you and we will not back out until we achieve a fair result. If our negotiations result in an agreement with the other party, we will prepare all the necessary documents to formally resolve your matter on a final basis out of court.

In most cases, we will use every possible means to keep you out of court and help you reach an agreement with the other party. If your matter cannot be resolved amicably, we will go to court with you.

We believe we have the energy, knowledge and expertise to assist you to work out reasonable and cost-effective solutions to your family law problems.

We respect tradition, but we are not afraid to challenge convention – we have adopted fixed-fee pricing across all our services, to ensure your peace of mind.

We are most approachable, but do not mistake our friendliness for weakness. We are obstinate in pursuing workable solutions for our clients.

Legal Aid ACT

The Legal Aid Commission (ACT) is an independent statutory authority established under the Legal Aid Act 1977. The Commission’s function is to provide legal assistance in the Australian Capital Territory. Legal assistance includes legal information and advice, duty lawyer services, and grants of financial assistance.

The Commission provides these services under the name Legal Aid ACT.
Our services are free of charge, except for grants of financial assistance which are means-tested and may be subject to payment of a contribution. We are funded by the Commonwealth and ACT governments, but carry out our functions independent of government.

The Commission’s Mission is to promote a just society in the Australian Capital Territory by:

• ensuring that vulnerable and disadvantaged people receive the legal services they need to assert or defend their rights;
• developing an improved community understanding of the law; and
• seeking reform of laws that adversely affect those we assist.

We achieve this purpose by delivering a range of high quality legal aid services through our staff and professional partners in a caring manner that respects diversity and promotes confidence in the legal system.

Our Vision is to be a leader in the delivery of legal aid, recognised for the excellence of our services and for the caring, responsive and professional manner in which they are provided.
