I started Resolve because something in family law didn’t sit right with me.
People were coming to us at some of the most fragile points in their lives, and the system they had to walk through often made things harder, not clearer.
Over the years, I saw the same pattern repeat:
people weren’t looking for a fight — they were looking for steady hands, clear thinking, and a path that didn’t destroy everything in its wake.
I knew there had to be a better way to do this work.
A way that respected the complexity of people.
A way that protected families from unnecessary harm.
A way that treated separation as a human transition, not a battleground.
Resolve grew out of that belief.
And as we’ve grown, the work has shaped us.
We’ve become clearer, more grounded, and more deliberate about how we practise.
Our rebrand simply brings our outside appearance into line with who we already are on the inside.
Why We Changed Our Brand
This wasn’t about “updating a look.”
It was about catching the brand up to who we have become.
We’re not the small firm with a big idea anymore.
We’re now South Australia’s largest specialist family law firm — and more importantly, a place where strategy, experience, and emotional intelligence sit side by side.
People today want clarity.
They want steadiness.
They want someone who can hold the line without inflaming the situation.
That is the work we’ve been doing quietly for years.
Now, the brand reflects it.
Nothing about this rebrand is loud or dramatic.
It’s measured. Calm. Confident.
Just like the way we practise.
A Moment That Captures Our Story
In November 2025, at our 10-year celebration, we shared a video with our team, referrers, and community.
Chanel and I wrote it ourselves.
It is our story.
It is why we exist.
It is the heart behind the work we do every day.
It speaks about the early days, the mistakes, the lessons, the way we grew, and the way the work shaped us. It is honest. It is human. And it shows the deeper truth behind our rebrand far better than any written explanation could.
If you want to understand who we are — truly — watch this.
It’s the clearest expression of what Resolve stands for.
What “Modern Family Law” Means to Us
Modern people demand Modern Family Lawyers.
That means we
- choose strategy over noise
-
give clients structure and clarity
-
break things down so people can breathe
-
name the hard things without inflaming them
- give our clients control and empowering them with education and insight
-
hold the boundary so clients don’t collapse under pressure
-
think two steps ahead
Our team reflects this balance.
We have the highest number of Accredited Family Law Specialists in SA, and we are Accredited Divorce coaches, trained in behavioural insight and coaching.
This means decisions aren’t made in panic.
Clients stay steadier.
There are fewer surprises.
And outcomes are better because the process was better.
This is what people actually want — even if they don’t always have the words for it.
Why This Matters
We see people in moments where the wrong advice can do real damage.
People need to be:
-
supported, not judged
-
guided with clarity
-
protected from avoidable conflict and supported to keep it minimised.
And you need to know the lawyer won’t become the source of the problem.
Our rebrand makes that commitment visible.
It signals exactly how we practise: calm, clear, strategic, human.
We don’t escalate for the sake of it.
We don’t use fear as leverage.
We don’t create noise.
We steady people.
We guide them through.
Sometimes that means strong negotiation.
Sometimes it means decisive litigation.
Sometimes it means helping them stay grounded until they can see the road again.
Whatever the path, it’s handled with intention.
Clients are safe with us.
That’s the only promise I’m comfortable making.
Where This Leaves Us Now
Resolve has grown up.
We’ve found our footing.
And this next chapter simply reflects that maturity.
The work hasn’t changed.
We’re just showing it more clearly.
If anything, this rebrand is a reminder of why we exist:
To reduce the mess, not add to it.
To guide people through conflict with dignity.
To practise law with strength and clarity, not ego.
To support modern families in the way they actually need.
Thank you for trusting us.
We’re here.
We’re steady.
And we’re ready for what comes next.
