Our People

David Edney

Your Family Law Specialist

There is an enormous responsibility in supporting someone through one of the most challenging transitions of their life - navigating the complexities of separation.

I understand that resolving these deeply personal matters involves much more than just legal considerations. In my first meeting with a client, it is important to put into context what the law can do, what it cannot do, and how it can impact your family.

I have extensive experience as a family lawyer and am an Accredited Family Law Specialist. I have trained extensively in alternative dispute resolution, including collaborative practice and mediation.

I'm committed to finding constructive, dignified pathways forward that prioritise maintaining relationships and minimising conflict. I have unique experience as an Independent Children's Lawyer, which has given me insight into separation from both children's and parents' perspectives.

While my professional responsibility is to my client, I am very aware that decisions need to be made taking into account my client's family and any  children. Though the relationship between parents may change, their responsibilities and obligations as parents do not.

I will work with you, bringing to bear empathy, professionalism, and a focus on finding solutions that support your family's future well-being.
