Protect your financial future at a affordable, transparent cost with our
Fixed Fee Binding Financial Agreements
(BFAs Or Prenups)
Times have changed and so have the laws around relationships.
With defacto relationships being recognised in the Family Law Courts, the rules relating to relationships, marriage, and partnerships and the subsequent division of property when these relationships break down, have resulted in many incidents of people losing more than they had ever anticipated.
Unfortunately, this can and usually does result in costly and lengthy family court battles over who is entitled to what.
Binding Financial Agreements can help protect your hard-earned assets from the outset.
Having a Binding Financial Agreement drawn up by an experienced Law firm ensures the agreement will be compliant with the Family Court Act 1975.
A correctly prepared BFA provides:
- You with peace of mind.
- You and your partner with a clear understanding of what is expected in the unfortunate situation your relationship breaks down at some point in the future.
- And most importantly, it protects your assets and your financial future.
However, the cost of getting a Binding Financial Agreement is often a sticking point for many people.
Stereotypically, BFAs are expensive, ranging anywhere from $4000 to $6000 or more.
To make matters worse, most law firms won’t commit to a cost upfront, making people even more uncertain about getting one so they don’t get hit with an unexpectedly large bill.
We’ve solved all this with our fixed-fee Binding Financial Agreements.
You know exactly what you will be paying and what to expect.
Our BFAs are legally valid across Australia and cost just $2750.

What does that mean exactly?
First of all you should have no hesitation contacting my law firm on any issue or service request you may have, we are completely friendly and approachable, and above everything else – here to help you.
Secondly, the time charge clock does not start ticking until we have had the opportunity to scope out your requirements, and wherever possible more often than not, offer a fixed fee for that service. You should never be surprised (other than pleasantly) about any bill you get from my law firm.
Finally, your satisfaction is paramount to our success and yours, we speak (and write) to you in the same language, no fancy legal jargon to justify our less than market rate fees, communication of the end result that you will be more than happy with is our goal.
Maurice comes from an Italian background where there is the saying ‘Casa mia… Casa tua’ meaning my home is your home, a statement of unconditional trust and hospitality, that is why my law firm is your law firm, make yourself at home, we are here for you.

What Our Clients Have to Say
“I was referred by a family member who spoke highly of Maurice of my law firm, it turns out they didn’t speak highly enough of you!
Your practical approach to problems without looking to gouge the client for fees is the biggest thing that first struck me as different. You are solution driven and always work hard for your client to get the best possible outcome in the quickest possible time – realising that nobody wants to be involved in complicated and time consuming legal battles that eat away at your pocket and your head space.
I have already referred over 10 people to Maurice and will definitely continue to do so.”

“Maurice has been assisting our business and many of our clients for a number of years. In the past, we’ve dealt with a number of lawyers but no one comes close to Maurice and his firm in terms of their approach, honesty, experience and exceptional service. He has always gone the extra mile and has been very helpful to our business and clients. I thank you for your service and support and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional commercial lawyer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
