Thank you to the team too !
I feel Ramsden, and in particular -Riley Hickey-(lawyer) Is the epitome of a true professional.
In that, she has exceptional skills in explaining processes to the “layman”, absolutely thorough in diligence, and last but not least, TRUSTWORTHY.
I give this honest review of my own volition.
Ramsden are true professionals that won’t lead you up the garden path.
I strongly recommend them.
Throughout a very unpredictable and often non-responsive situation with my now ex-husband, Marius consistently looked out for the best interests of both myself and my children. His advice was always thoughtful, considered, and grounded in experience. He took the time to explain each step of the process and ensured I felt supported and informed throughout.
What stood out most was his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome, not just legally but personally. Marius's calm, strategic approach helped bring clarity and stability during an otherwise turbulent time.
I am incredibly grateful for Marius’s guidance and support, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate family law expert.
What I appreciated most was how easy she made the whole process feel. Visas can be stressful, but Marley kept things smooth and straightforward the entire way. Thanks to her, everything went through without any issues.
I’d definitely recommend her to anyone needing help with an Australian visa. She’s professional, reliable, and just really great to work with.

PROPERTY DISPUTES THAT WE HANDLE
We act for individuals, investors, landlords, tenants, businesses, and body corporates in a wide range of residential and commercial property disputes, including:
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY DISPUTES
Disputes involving homes, land, or residential property agreements.
These may include landlord and tenant conflicts, unpaid rent, bond disputes, boundary issues, retaining walls, trees, easements, and other neighbourhood property issues.
COMMERCIAL PROPERTY DISPUTES
Disputes involving commercial premises, business properties, or property investments.
These matters often involve significant financial risk and may affect business operations, cash flow, and future growth.
COMMERCIAL LEASING DISPUTES
Disputes between commercial landlords and tenants about lease obligations, rent, outgoings, repairs, make good obligations, or lease termination.
Early advice can help protect your position and reduce disruption to your business.
RETAIL SHOP LEASE DISPUTES
Disputes involving retail shop leases, including rent reviews, disclosure obligations, lease renewals, outgoings, and termination issues.
These disputes may be governed by specific retail leasing legislation.
CONVEYANCING DISPUTES
Disputes that arise during or after the purchase or sale of property.
These may involve failed settlements, contract breaches, title issues, deposit disputes, or errors made during the conveyancing process.
FAILED PROPERTY SETTLEMENTS
Disputes that occur when a buyer or seller does not complete settlement as required under the contract. These matters can have serious consequences, including loss of deposit, termination of the contract, or claims for damages.
CAVEATS AND PROPERTY OWNERSHIP DISPUTES
Disputes involving claims or interests registered against a property title, including conflicting equitable interests in land, where two or more parties claim rights over the same property even though those rights may not be formally registered on the title.
A caveat can prevent dealings with the property, so these matters often require urgent legal advice.
MISREPRESENTATION AND NEGLIGENCE CLAIMS
Claims involving false, misleading, or negligent statements made during a property transaction.
These may relate to the property’s value, rental income, condition, defects, or other important matters that influenced a purchase decision.
BODY CORPORATE DISPUTES
Disputes involving body corporate, lot owners, committees, contractors, or property managers.
These may include bylaw disputes, maintenance issues, debt recovery, contractor claims, and complaints through the Commissioner’s Office.
DEBT RECOVERY FOR BODY CORPORATE
Assisting body corporate to recover unpaid levies, contributions, or other debts owed by lot owners. Prompt action can help protect the financial position of the body corporate and reduce the impact on other owners.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT DISPUTES
Disputes involving property development projects, joint ventures, funding arrangements, construction issues or disagreements between developers, investors and other stakeholders.
These matters often require strategic advice to protect both legal and commercial interests.
COUNCIL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT DISPUTES
Disputes involving local councils or government authorities about property, planning, development, compliance or enforcement matters.
These disputes can be complex and may require careful negotiation or formal proceedings.
