Our Story

Founded by Clare Compaan in 2022, Eliza Legal was born out of her commitment to providing solution-focused family law services. Clare's journey in family law has fueled her passion for creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard. Recognising the need for a law firm rooted in empathy, Clare established Eliza Legal to support clients through the legal process, minimising stress and focusing on positive outcomes following separation or divorce.

Our Expertise

We offer a wide range of services for men and women going through separation, with a special focus on complex cases involving business owners, investment properties, and significant assets.

We also passionately advocate for those who feel unheard, particularly when left in the dark about their financial situation. We are also experts in complex parenting cases involving high conflict and strive to achieve great outcomes for our clients.
