John R Quinn & Co has acted for many overseas clients, including expatriate Australians who are living and working overseas.
We are aware of the special needs of overseas clients and the impact that distance from Australia can have 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 also have experience in 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.
As a specialist family law practice, we have given advice and appeared in 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.
John Quinn is a fellow of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
