Practice areas

Our practice areas

Mazzeo Lawyers provides clear, practical legal advice for individuals, families and businesses facing complex disputes. Based in Melbourne, we work with clients across Victoria to understand their position, consider their options and make informed decisions about the way forward.

Some matters involve more than one area of law. Our approach considers how those issues connect and what they mean for you.

Explore our practice areas below to see where we can assist, or contact us if you are unsure where your matter fits.

Disputes we act in

Property and business disputes

When business relationships break down or property interests are disputed, we help you understand your position and the options for resolving the disagreement. Our work includes commercial litigation, shareholder and partnership disputes, trust disputes and commercial property disputes, with advice that considers the wider consequences for you or your business.

Family law

Separation can involve difficult decisions about property, finances and children. We advise on property settlements, including matters involving businesses, trusts and complex assets, as well as de facto relationships and parenting arrangements. Our focus is on helping you understand your options and work towards a practical way forward.

Wills and estate disputes

Disagreements about a will or the administration of an estate can place strain on families at an already difficult time. We advise on contested wills, claims for provision from an estate, executor disputes and contested probate or administration matters, helping you assess your position and consider the available options.

Confiscation and proceeds of crime

If property or assets are subject to restraint, forfeiture or confiscation proceedings, we can advise on your interests and available options. We also assist family members and others whose property interests may be affected by proceedings involving someone else, taking care to understand their individual circumstances.

Personal injury

If you are seeking advice about institutional abuse, military compensation, TAC or WorkCover claims, contact us to discuss your circumstances and the next steps. We recognise that making an enquiry can be a significant decision, particularly where it involves a sensitive personal experience.

Other services

For conveyancing, commercial leasing, estate planning, powers of attorney and business sale and purchase matters, our team provides practical advice to help you understand the legal issues, protect your interests and move forward with confidence.
