Service 04

Prenuptial Agreements

A prenuptial agreement isn't a plan for failure — it's a foundation of honesty and protection for both partners. We draft agreements that are fair, enforceable, and respectful of both sides.

"The best prenuptial agreements are the ones that never need to be used — but they build a foundation of financial honesty from day one."

— Priya Mendis, Senior Partner

Family Mediation

Our mediation-first philosophy means less conflict, lower costs, and better outcomes for your children.

Why Mediation Works

  • Faster resolution — weeks, not years
  • 60–80% less costly than litigation
  • Both parties retain more control
  • Less traumatic for children
  • Agreements are more durable

How It Works

  1. 1 Initial consultation to assess suitability
  2. 2 Joint sessions with a trained mediator
  3. 3 Private sessions when needed for sensitivity
  4. 4 Draft agreement reviewed by each party's attorney
  5. 5 Finalised legal agreement signed
