For many businesses, a lease is one of the biggest commitments they’ll make. Once it’s signed, you’re generally bound for the full term, even if trading is slower than expected or your plans change. Directors are often asked to sign a personal guarantee too, which can put your own assets on the line.

Our commercial law team can review your lease, explain the terms and negotiate changes before you commit.

Caught drink driving? What happens next matters.

A drink driving charge can feel overwhelming, but knowing what to expect makes the next steps clearer. In NSW, the penalties depend largely on your blood alcohol reading and whether it’s your first offence.

If you have a court date, don’t go in unprepared. How you prepare can affect the outcome, and time limits to appeal a suspension are strict.

Our team can explain what you’re facing and help you prepare.

Left out of a will? You may still have options.

In NSW, a family provision claim lets eligible people seek a share of an estate, but the deadline is generally 12 months from the date of death.

Swipe through for who can claim and what the Court considers. Save this for later and share it with someone who needs it.

Under the Family Law Act, a de facto relationship generally exists when two people (of the same or different s*x) have lived together on a genuine domestic basis, and the relationship isn’t a legal marriage.

Courts look at a range of factors to decide if this threshold is met — including the length of the relationship, whether you shared a home, finances, and how the relationship was presented to others.

Timing matters too: generally, a relationship needs to have lasted at least two years for de facto property claims to apply, though there are exceptions (such as when there’s a child of the relationship).

If you’re unsure whether your relationship meets this threshold, or what it could mean for a property settlement, our family law team can help you understand where you stand.

We’re proud to share that our family law solicitor, Giorgia Wilson, has been nominated for the 2026 Inside Family Law Award for Social Justice.

The Social Justice Award recognises commitment to social justice, access to justice and addressing inequity within family law.

Giorgia’s work extends beyond her practice as a family lawyer. As the Founder of WGG Australia, she works to advance conversations around gendered violence, access to justice and the experiences of those navigating systems of law and support.

That work continues to shape the way Giorgia approaches her practice — bringing a strong social justice lens to the profession and advocating for a family law system that is accessible, informed and responsive to the realities of the people it serves.

We’re particularly proud that this nomination recognises the connection between her professional practice and her broader advocacy.

Congratulations, Giorgia, on this well-deserved recognition.

Separation does not pause decision-making responsibility — but it does raise a lot of questions.

Who decides on schooling? What about overseas travel? Can you relocate without the other parent’s agreement? Can you change your child’s name?

The answers are not always intuitive, and getting them wrong can mean unnecessary conflict — or a court application that could have been avoided.

At Evans & Wislang, we help separated parents work through these decisions with clarity: from parenting agreements and mediation preparation, to court representation and trial readiness. 

If you’re facing a parenting decision after separation, our family law team is here to help you understand your options.
