Prenup & Financial Arrangement Lawyers Brisbane - Protect Your Future, Peacefully
Considering marriage or a de facto relationship? A Financial Agreement gives you clarity, protection and peace of mind, right from the start.
You’re not planning to separate. You’re planning for a life together
You’re not planning to separate. You’re planning for a life together.
But it’s smart and increasingly common to put financial agreements in place at the beginning.
That’s what a prenup is: a practical, respectful, and empowering way to ensure your assets, responsibilities, and expectations are clear and protected from the outset.
Whether you’re entering marriage, a de facto partnership, or remarrying later in life if you want to safeguard wealth, avoid disputes, or reduce uncertainty, a Financial Agreement offers the protection you’re looking for.
Handled properly, these agreements are legally enforceable – but they must be drafted with care. That’s where our experience and Accredited Specialist credentials matter.
Feel Cautious or Unsure About Raising a Prenup? You’re Not Alone.
Talking about money before marriage can feel uncomfortable. You may worry about offending your partner or sounding like you don’t trust them.
But asking about a prenup isn’t a sign of distrust – it’s a sign of maturity, clarity, and care for your future together.
Most clients who come to us feel a mix of emotions: protective, uncertain, hopeful, and wanting to do the right thing.
They’re often thinking ahead – about inheritances, family businesses, or protecting children from previous relationships. Others have seen friends go through messy separations and want to avoid that pain.
Our legal team understands the emotional complexity of this step. That’s why our lawyers work with care and empathy – ensuring you feel confident about raising it, and supported through the process.
Handled respectfully, prenups often build trust – not tension – by opening honest conversations early on. And once signed, they let both parties move forward with freedom and confidence.
We’ll help you do it right, with discretion, clarity, and strength.

Not all Agreements are Built to Last - Ours Are
The biggest risk with a prenup isn’t legal complexity – it’s poor drafting or inexperience that went into crafting it.
We’ve seen it many times: agreements rushed, cookie-cutter templates used, and advice skimped, and they get challenged or overturned in court.
That’s why every prenup our legal team prepares is handled by experienced senior lawyers – including our principal, an Accredited Family Law Specialist. That title is held by fewer than 3% of lawyers in Queensland, and it matters.
Our legal team fully understands the legal and emotional stakes, and makes sure every box is ticked:
- Independent legal advice is properly documented
- Full financial disclosure is ensured
- The agreement is tailored to your exact circumstances
- The language is court-proof
- Your rights and dignity are protected
Clients also choose us for our communication.
You’ll enjoy plain English explanations, efficient meetings, and being able to contact your lawyer throughout the full process. And if your partner needs their own legal advisor, our legal team can recommend reputable firms to act for them independently.
When the agreement is finalised, you’ll know it’s solid, respected, and ready to protect you – no matter what challenges life brings.
Trusted & Recognised Memberships, Associations and Affiliations
Led by an Accredited Family Law Specialist
When everything feels uncertain, it helps to know you’re being guided by a team led by one of Queensland’s most qualified family lawyers.
Less than 3% of solicitors in Queensland hold the title of Accredited Specialist in Family Law. It’s not a marketing term – it’s formal recognition from the Queensland Law Society that Jill Johnstone, Principal of The Law People, is among the top-tier experts in the state.
For you, that means:
- Advice that’s precise, strategic and fully aligned with current legal standards
- Representation from someone trusted by peers, judges, and clients alike
- Fewer delays, fewer missteps, and a smoother path to resolution
In complex or high-stakes matters – especially involving children, property, or financial disputes – that level of expertise can make a real difference in your outcomes.
What truly sets this team apart is that legal skill never comes at the expense of personable service. You’ll feel it from the first conversation – real understanding, practical advice, and guidance that puts your best interests at the centre.
So if you’ve been searching for family law advice you can truly trust – you’ve just found it.
Tailored Advice for People with Something to Protect
Our legal team works with people from all walks of life – but most of our prenup clients are from these groups:
- Professionals & business owners who want to protect their practice, company assets, or financial records
- Couples bringing significant assets into a marriage or de facto relationship (e.g., property, family trusts, inheritance)
- Those with children from previous relationships who want to ensure family wealth is protected and responsibly passed on
- People re-partnering after separation for people who want to ensure their risk is minimised in the future.
- Transfer of wealth for people who are receiving early inheritances for significant gifts from their family – to retain the money in the family.
Our legal team helps both parties negotiate calmly, prepare financial disclosure, and reach agreement respectfully. You won’t be met with formality and legal jargon – just real, clear advice from people who care.
Our Brisbane lawyers also frequently assist where one party has already had a draft agreement prepared. In those cases, we’ll review it, advise you clearly on the risks or amendments, and work quickly so your decision-making isn’t delayed.
No matter your situation, you’ll be supported with skill, empathy, and unwavering professionalism.
Common Questions About Prenups
Answered With Clarity
Are prenups legally enforceable in Australia?
Yes – when properly prepared. That means full financial disclosure, independent legal advice for both parties, no coercion, and a fair process. If done right, courts will generally uphold them.
Can a prenup be challenged later?
It can be challenged – but rarely succeeds when the agreement is well-structured. Challenges usually fail if both parties were properly advised and everything was disclosed at the time.
What’s the biggest risk in prenups?
Poor legal drafting. DIY templates or “cheap and fast” services often create flawed agreements that don’t hold up. Always choose experienced lawyers.
