More often than not in today’s world peoples lives are organized by way of company structures, family trusts and unit trusts, taxation considerations and of course, much more now than ever before, superannuation. Cassandra is a family lawyer who can integrate her knowledge and experience in all of these areas into the issues of property division, spousal maintenance, child support, estate planning and asset restructuring.

She was the founding President of Queensland Collaborative Law for the first two years of its inception, continues to serve on that Committee and serves as the Queensland representative on the Collaborative Law sub committee of the Law Council of Australia.
