A commercial law firm focused on getting results for our clients (and enjoying life in the process)

13/10/2026

The family law system in Australia does not recognise any universally effective “asset-protection structure”, particularly when it comes to relationship breakdowns.

Whatever label is placed on a transaction, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia looks beyond form and focuses on the real economic position of the parties and their assets. Legal and beneficial ownership, practical control, historical enjoyment, the source and application of funds, and whether a transaction has impaired the Court’s capacity to make effective property orders.

Consequently, a structure that is valid and effective under trust, corporate, tax or insolvency law is not necessarily effective in family law. The critical questions are:

- who supplied the capital;

- who controls the structure;

- who can appoint or remove the controllers;

- who received the benefit; and

- whether the arrangement frustrates a just and equitable outcome.

The right advice at the right time can make all the difference.

We are proud to share this wonderful feedback from a recent family law client, and to recognise our Partner Briony Robertson for the expertise, care and commitment she brings to every matter.

Family law is rarely straightforward. Whether it involves financial matters, parenting arrangements or protecting what matters most, our focus is on providing clear, strategic advice while making the process as considered and manageable as possible.

A great result is important, but so is the experience along the way.

If you, a client, or someone you know is navigating a family law matter and values experienced advice, contact our team on (03) 9481 2000 or [email protected] for a confidential discussion.

The business you marry into may not be the business you separate from.

What happens when a business that was relatively modest at the time of a marriage grows substantially over the years?

That’s one of the issues Briony Robertson, Partner and Head of Family Law at Ta**us Legal Management explored in a recent interview with Pat Panetta on 3AW, discussing binding financial agreements and the role they can play in managing financial risk within a relationship.

Briony also discussed the separation of Lululemon founder Chip Wilson, noting that the significant growth of the business during the course of the relationship has become relevant to the couple’s financial circumstances as they now separate.

It’s a useful reminder for business owners that planning for relationship risk isn’t simply about protecting what you have today. It’s also about thinking carefully about what may happen as your business, wealth and circumstances evolve (and let’s not forget your Tupperware collection!).

A BFA can be an important part of that broader planning conversation, particularly where there is a business, family wealth or future growth involved.

Listen to Briony’s full interview below.

If you’re considering a BFA or want to understand how one may help manage financial risk within your relationship, contact our team on (03) 9481 2000 or [email protected] to arrange a confidential discussion with Briony.
