Our People.
Your Partners in Resolution.
We know that family law is defined by the people who practise it.
That’s why we’ve built a team that combines specialist expertise with human understanding. Our lawyers, paralegals, and client care team aren’t here just to win cases – they’re here to help people move forward with clarity and confidence.
Rose Cocchiaro and Chanel Martin.
Led by Experience.
Driven by Empathy
Rose Cocchiaro founded Resolve and later partnered with Chanel Martin.
Two leaders redefining what family law can be: calm, strategic and deeply human. With decades of combined experience, they’ve built a practice grounded in clarity and care.
Rose brings a trailblazing vision for responsible lawyering, while Chanel pairs strategic insight with a people-first approach. Together, they set the standard for how family law should be practised with expertise, empathy and unwavering purpose.
The Resolve Team
Our 30+ staff include senior solicitors, associates, solicitors, paralegals, client experience coordinators, and support staff.
Each member of our team plays a vital role in our business. As a collective, we help families achieve not just legal outcomes, but holistic ones.

Our Values in Action
Our values aren’t slogans, they’re lived every day in the way we work with our clients and each other.
They guide how we show up, how we listen, and how we lead through even the toughest moments.
- Experience
Lead with clarity, earned through real-world experience and training.
- Boldness
Challenge the old ways, back themselves to do things differently.
- Chemistry
Value the spark between people; being seen, heard, understood.
- Drive
Curious, committed, always pushing further for the people they support.
These four qualities define the Resolve culture. They’re why clients choose us, and why people want to work with us.
The level of care and compassion put into the service was beyond my expectation.
