About the Webinar

The June 2025 reforms to the Family Law Act 1975 have ushered in a new era for property and financial matters - impacting not only what lawyers must consider, but how they document and communicate it. This session explores the practical drafting challenges raised by the reforms and how to update your precedents, advice, and procedures to remain compliant and effective. Topics include:

  • Key legislative changes and what must now be considered in property and spousal maintenance matters
  • Drafting affidavits under the new regime, including structuring evidence of family violence
  • Procedural drafting in a less adversarial, more streamlined system
  • Adapting letters of advice and other client communications
  • Navigating drafting issues in both contested and negotiated financial settlements
  • Risks of relying on outdated precedents: cost, outcome, and professional liability

Presented By

Adam Cooper
Principal, Cooper Family Law Brisbane, Qld

Adam Cooper has been a family lawyer and advocate for over 25 years. He initially started practice as a barrister, before taking on special counsel roles and then establishing Cooper Family Law in 2011.

Adam also has tertiary qualifications in social science and adult education.

Adam is the author of two recently published books. The Family Law Survival Guide is the essential roadmap for anyone confronting divorce or family law. It deliberately steers away from legal advice and is about how mindset and focus can assist in resolutions. And Before She Leaves, How Men Lose Connection, tracks the themes of hundreds of marriage break up stories, reveals how relationships flounder through lack of connection, and how men can regain connection and keep their relationships alive.

Adam is also about to ink a contract on the publication of his first novel, which explores the interaction between a difficult relocation case, and the relationships between the persons involved.
