Appeal & Second Opinion Review

Family appeals are difficult, expensive and time-limited. Not every disappointing decision is appealable — but some clearly are.

A senior, independent review gives you clarity on what's realistic, what's not, and what to do instead if an appeal isn't the right route.

• Review of the judgment, order and relevant transcripts.
• Assessment of arguable grounds of appeal.
• Assessment of realistic prospects and likely costs.
• Consideration of alternatives — variation, further evidence, ADR.
• A written report and a debrief call.
