If you’re involved in a dispute, get in touch to find out how we can help. At O’Reilly & Sochacki Lawyers, we have worked with a large variety of clients and practice extensively within civil and criminal law. We’ll try and help you reach a resolution before the matter is escalated to court, reducing costs and finalising your issue as efficiently as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cohabitation agreement and do I need one?
A cohabitation agreement sets out how property and finances will be managed in a de facto relationship. It can cover assets owned before and during the relationship, as well as what happens if you separate. While not legally required, having an agreement can help prevent misunderstandings and disputes later on.
Can you make a financial agreement before marriage?
Yes, couples can make a binding financial agreement before marriage, commonly referred to as a prenup. It outlines how assets, liabilities and financial resources will be divided if the relationship ends. These agreements must meet specific legal requirements and be signed with independent legal advice to be enforceable.
What is the purpose of a trust in estate planning?
A trust allows a person to transfer assets to a trustee, who manages them on behalf of beneficiaries. Trusts can help with tax planning, protect assets from legal claims or ensure specific conditions are met before beneficiaries receive anything. They’re often used in more complex estate planning scenarios.
