Holistic Law
"Where life and law meets"
What is Holistic Law?
Holistic law is a legal approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of all aspects of life and seeks to promote harmony and balance between them. It is based on the belief that the law should consider not only the legal and economic factors, but also the social, environmental, and spiritual factors that affect human life and the natural world.
​
Holistic law takes into account the whole person, their relationships, and their context, rather than simply focusing on their legal status or actions. It emphasizes the importance of listening, empathy, and compassion in legal decision-making, and encourages a collaborative and cooperative approach to resolving disputes.
​
Holistic law is often associated with alternative forms of dispute resolution, such as mediation and restorative justice, which prioritize dialogue and understanding over punishment and retribution. It is also closely linked to the concept of sustainable development, which seeks to balance economic growth with social and environmental considerations.

Separation and Divorce is the closing of one door, and the opening of another. Change is hard but the future is yours to write it as you will. You may no longer be a couple, but if the two of you have children, the relationship you have with your ex will still be one of the most important relationships in your life.
“When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn’t a sign that they ‘don’t understand’ one another, but a sign that they have, at least, begun to.” — Helen Rowland

Our Services
Family Law
​
In family law, we focus on the well-being of all members of a family, and seek to create solutions that prioritize the needs of the children involved. This may involve developing creative solutions for custody and visitation arrangements that allow both parents to be involved in their children's lives.
We recognize that communication is key to maintaining a respectful and healthy relationship between ex-partners, especially when children are involved.
We encourage our clients to view their separation as a new chapter in their lives, rather than a complete end to their relationship.
Our aim is to help our clients develop a sustainable, working relationship that benefits both parties and promotes harmony even after the divorce is finalized.

Commercial Law
​
We aim to create a more sustainable, equitable, and socially responsible business environment.
​
We encourage organisations to seek alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration, to resolve commercial disputes in a more collaborative and creative manner and develop contracts and agreements that reflect the values of the business and prioritize fairness, sustainability, and social responsibility.
We focus on communication and conflict resolution. Rather than approaching legal disputes as a win-lose scenario, we work with our clients to find creative solutions that prioritize the needs and interests of all parties involved. This can help to build relationships and foster trust, ultimately leading to more sustainable and successful outcomes.

Wills & Estates
​
It is crucial to have both a will and an enduring power of attorney to ensure that an individual's wishes are respected and their affairs are handled appropriately in the event of incapacity or death. These documents can also provide peace of mind to the individual and their loved ones, knowing that their interests are protected and their legacy is preserved.
