Principal - Shallice Cockram
Lawyer (Qld); CA(AU); CPA(AU; CA(SA); Mediator
I am a lawyer and chartered accountant with a career that has spanned multiple countries, industries and cultures. Originally qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, I later obtained both CPA and CA qualifications in Australia, adding to my financial and commercial expertise.
Following a deeply personal loss, I returned to study and was admitted as a lawyer in 2014. My legal career has included senior commercial and mining roles across Australia and internationally. I later completed formal mediation training, deepening my ability to assist clients to resolve disputes with clarity and dignity.
My professional journey, shaped by both challenge and opportunity, allows me to bring not only technical legal and financial skill, but perspective, resilience and genuine empathy. I understand that separation and conflict are rarely just legal problems; they are life events requiring strength, careful guidance and practical solutions.
While every story is unique, our shared humanity connects us. Experience brings perspective, and perspective brings wisdom. Those principles guide the way I practice law.

Our Services
Family Law - Parenting
When relationships end, the most important question is always: what is best for the children? At Holistic Law, we place children’s needs at the centre of everything we do, focusing on parenting arrangements that promote stability, safety, and meaningful relationships with both parents wherever possible.
We understand that every family is different. Some matters can be resolved through a carefully structured Parenting Plan, while others require formal Parenting Orders from the Court. Whichever path is right for your family, we guide you with empathy and practical, clear advice.
Where litigation is required, we provide structured, decisive representation. By focusing on solutions rather than conflict, we help parents build sustainable co-parenting arrangements that support children well into the future.
We also recognise that parenting concerns don’t always arise during business hours. That’s why we are here for our clients seven days a week, providing guidance when it matters most.
