The parties had built a substantial asset pool, including multiple investment properties, superannuation interests and a family business, and negotiations had reached an impasse, with each holding very different views on how the assets should be divided.

Melbourne Magistrates’ Court – Intervention Order Conditions Successfully Negotiated to Allow Ongoing Family Contact
A 36-year-old woman instructed EAS Legal after an application for a Family Violence Intervention Order was issued following allegations arising from a family dispute.

Werribee Magistrates’ Court – Family Violence Intervention Order Revoked Following Contested Hearing
A 41-year-old man engaged EAS Legal after an application for a Family Violence Intervention Order was made against him following the end of a long-term relationship.

Melbourne Magistrates’ Court – Assault Charges Withdrawn Following Strategic Negotiations
A 29-year-old man came to EAS Legal facing charges of Recklessly Cause Injury and Common Assault after an alleged altercation outside a CBD venue in Melbourne. The prosecution claimed he started the confrontation and caused facial injuries to the complainant, and their brief included body-worn camera footage, CCTV and multiple witness statements. A conviction would have meant a criminal record and serious consequences for his employment and future career.EAS Legal identified inconsistencies between the witness accounts and the CCTV, then prepared detailed written representations setting out the weaknesses in the prosecution case including problems with identification, witness reliability and a viable self-defence argument. After extensive negotiations, the prosecution reviewed the matter and accepted there was no longer a reasonable prospect of conviction. All charges were withdrawn without a contested hearing, and the client avoided a criminal record and kept his employment uninterrupted.
