Our Experience

Our Director and Principal Lawyer, Hong Chau, has practised exclusively in Family Law since 2005. Over more than two decades, she has represented individuals in complex and sensitive matters involving significant parenting and financial issues.

Hong has extensive experience in parenting matters involving family violence, mental health, drug and alcohol dependency, allegations of sexual abuse, parentage disputes, relocation and parental alienation.

Her financial and property experience includes matters involving family businesses, companies, trusts and complex asset structures. She has acted in cases where a detailed understanding of both the family’s financial affairs and the legal issues is essential.

Hong brings extensive experience and sound judgment to her practice. She provides clear advice, takes the time to understand the circumstances of each client and works with them to determine the most appropriate way forward.

Outside of her legal practice, Hong is a mother of two boys. She is involved in her local church and serves as a board member of a not-for-profit organisation. She enjoys following basketball, tennis and, most importantly, enjoys spending time with her family.
