Reconciliation is a simple idea, but a complex and ongoing journey. It is built through relationships, listening and a willingness to keep learning.

This National Reconciliation Week, we reflect on the role all Australians play in advancing reconciliation through action, respect and shared responsibility.

For decades, Johnston Withers Lawyers has worked alongside Aboriginal people, communities and organisations across Australia in matters involving native title, land rights, Aboriginal heritage, governance and commercial law.

That work continues today through lawyers including Richard Bradshaw, Kirsty Bennett and Ceilia Divakaran with assistance from Chloe Donaldson.

As a firm working on Kaurna land and across South Australia, we remain committed to listening, learning and supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities through the work we do.

Separations and divorces can be hard on children.

When parenting arrangements need to be worked through, it’s important that children feel heard, supported, and protected throughout the process.

In family law matters, the Court may consider:
👧 A child’s views and wishes
📄 Child Impact Reports and Family Reports
🤝 Input from independent professionals
🏡 What arrangements are in the child’s best interests

There is help available to navigate separation in a way that aims to reduce stress, conflict, and the impact on children.

Buying or selling a property?

One of the biggest mistakes people make is waiting too long to speak with a conveyancer.

Settlement delays, finance hold-ups, and contract issues can all create unnecessary stress if things aren’t set up properly from the start.

A few simple steps can make a big difference:
🏡 Choose your conveyancer early
📅 Make sure your settlement dates are realistic
📄 Understand the difference between pre-approval and formal finance approval
☎️ Get advice before signing a contract

Whether you’re buying your first home, investing, or selling a property, having the right advice early can help avoid costly problems later.

When experience matters, we’re here to help.

We were proud to support today’s SA Unions May Day Family Fun Day. It’s an event that celebrates the history and impact of the trade union movement, something that’s long been part of Johnston Withers’ story.

There was plenty to enjoy:
🎨 Face painting
🐐 Petting zoo
🫧 Bubble entertainment

As part of our commitment to supporting the union community, we offer discounted legal services across a range of areas.

Great outcomes matter. So does how people are supported along the way.

A recent client shared this after working with Dominic Nasone.

“Beyond your legal expertise, it was your time, reassurance, and genuine care that made such a meaningful difference.”

Supporting people through challenging situations is what matters most to us.

We appreciate hearing how our team is helping South Australians when they need it most.

Injured at work?

You may be entitled to more than you think, including income support, medical costs and lump sum compensation.

However, strict time limits apply and missing them can impact your claim. ⚠️

If something doesn’t feel right with your claim, don’t wait. Getting advice early can make a real difference.

Buying a property is exciting but there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that can catch people out.

A few things to keep in mind:

🏡 Your offer can include conditions like finance approval or building inspections
📄 A Form 1 gives important details about the property but not the full picture
⏳ Cooling off periods are limited and don’t apply in every situation (like auctions)
⚠️ Missing key dates or obligations can have real financial consequences

Understanding your rights early can make the whole process feel a lot more manageable.

When experience matters, having the right advice makes all the difference.

Thinking about using a DIY Will kit? It might cost more than you think.

A Will is one of the most important documents you’ll ever prepare. However, we regularly see DIY Wills create confusion, delays, and unnecessary stress for families.

Common issues include:
❌ Invalid or incorrectly signed documents
📋 Missing key instructions or fallback provisions
🏠 Assets that can’t actually be distributed through a Will
🧠 No clear evidence of your wishes or capacity

In many cases, these mistakes lead to costly legal disputes or estates not being carried out as intended.

The cost of getting it wrong is often far greater than the cost of getting it right.

If you’re thinking about preparing or updating your Will, it’s worth understanding what’s involved.

When experience matters, we’re here to help.
