John R Quinn & Co has acted for many overseas clients including expatriate Australians living and working overseas.
We are aware of the special needs of overseas clients and the impact distance from Australia has on communication.
With today’s improved communication tools including the internet and email we are able to overcome the difficulty for our overseas clients in obtaining prompt legal advice.
We have experience also of the way today’s business world remunerates their employees – e.g. employee stock options and share plans for clients and how such arrangements are dealt with under the Family Law Act or the Property Relationships Act (NSW) for those clients who have been in a de facto relationship.
We are a specialist family law practice and have also given advice and appeared in those cases involving the abduction of children to or from Australia under the Hague Convention where it continues to apply to clients who have been in a De Facto relationship.
