O’Sullivan Davies Lawyers is proud to announce their chosen charity for the fourth quarter of 2020, OVIS Community Services.

Both the federal government and senior members of the courts are committed to finding ways to reduce the costs to litigants of disputes about family property. This article reviews a number of new technologies that could help family law practitioners to reduce the time spent in preparing a case for the purposes of negotiation, mediation or litigation. Adoption of such technologies could thereby reduce legal costs for clients. The article also reviews a new government-funded program, developed under the leadership of the Legal Services Commission of South Australia, to assist people to resolve property disputes using artificial intelligence, without involving lawyers.

O’Sullivan Davies Lawyers held its first professional development seminar since COVID-19 with Chartered Forensic Psychologist, Dr Lorraine Sheridan, who gave a presentation to O’Sullivan Davies staff and other invited family lawyers on stalking.
