SUNNY SIDE UP: When we recently asked our Director Principal Aimee Maud what her three highlights were in July, here’s what she had to say:

“My first highlight was being nominated for the 'Thought Leader of the Year' category in the Women in Law Awards for 2024.

Another highlight was returning from my big trip feeling inspired and motivated to keep challenging ourselves, and to keep innovating to enhance our client service.
Finally, seeing Annalise take some much needed time off with her family after holding down the fort for me was fantastic as well!”

FAQ: A property settlement is critical to the success of moving through a separation. Here's why: once financially separated, a property settlement protects you from your ex-partner making claims against new assets you may obtain further down the track. Finalising a property settlement within a year of separation is also important. To learn more about property settlement, reach out to Romer Maud Family Lawyers here: https://romermaud.com.au/book-now/

IN THE NEWS: The release of 'It Ends With Us' - a film based on the best-selling Colleen Hoover novel - has brought with it concerns over its handling of the central theme of domestic violence.

The book itself gained criticism for walking a fine line between romance and abuse, despite being very clearly ‘not a romance’. Yet with key changes to the plot and promotional material, it appears that the film is seeking to rectify these issues and depict the story for what it truly is.
