About Stephen

Stephen Doorey serves as the Managing Director and brings a robust background in law, holding an LLB/BA in Psychology and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice. With a focus on complex property settlement cases, Stephen handles matters involving intricate financial structures, valuation issues, business affairs, and high net worth individuals. His legal acumen extends to child-related issues, including parenting arrangements, child support, recovery and relocation, and international considerations, including Hague Convention cases. Aside from family law, Stephen possesses extensive knowledge in wills, probate, family provision, and estate matters. He offers a multidisciplinary approach to legal advice, tailoring his services to meet the unique needs of his clients. His substantial litigation experience is demonstrated through frequent appearances in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia for property, maintenance, and children-related matters, as well as in the Supreme Court of New South Wales for probate and estate proceedings. As an accredited Collaborative Professional in New South Wales, Stephen is dedicated to fostering amicable solutions for his clients by leveraging less adversarial methods such as settlement conferences, collaboration, mediation, and arbitration. Stephen is an active member of the Law Society of NSW, the Family Law Section of the Law Council of Australia, and Collaborative Professionals NSW. His practice areas encompass complex property settlements, parenting and children matters, financial agreements, wills and probate, powers of attorney, enduring guardianships, and private advisory services. Through a client-focused and collaborative approach, Stephen strives to deliver bespoke legal outcomes.
