Reece Ramsden

Reece Ramsden is a Partner and Accredited Specialist in Family Law who practises exclusively in family law from the firm’s Sydney office. As a recognised specialist, he is regularly engaged in complex litigation involving significant asset pools, high-conflict parenting disputes, and serious allegations of family violence.

Reece has extensive experience conducting contested property proceedings involving sophisticated financial structures, including trusts, private companies, self-managed superannuation funds, and multi-entity corporate arrangements. He works closely with forensic accountants and valuation experts to obtain evidence if necessary and is experienced in preparing and attending interim hearings and trials in complex financial matters.

In parenting matters, Reece frequently acts in cases involving allegations of coercive control, substance misuse, mental health concerns, and risk to children. He has represented clients in urgent location and recovery orders, airport watchlist applications, interim hearings, and final hearings. He also has significant experience in matters involving transgender children and LGBTIQ+ families, as well as same-sex separation, adoption, and surrogacy disputes.

Reece holds both a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Counselling from Bond University. His counselling background strengthens his ability to assess behavioural risk factors and understand family dynamics, while delivering decisive and strategic legal advice. He is trained in Collaborative Law and utilises that model where appropriate; however, he is equally known for his firm and strategic advocacy when litigation becomes necessary.

Reece advises and represents clients in:

• High net worth property litigation involving trusts, companies, and expert valuation evidence
• Parenting proceedings involving family violence, coercive control, and complex risk issues
• Urgent applications, recovery orders, and airport watchlist matters
• Domestic violence intersecting with criminal charges
• Same-sex separation, surrogacy, and adoption
• Financial Agreements and asset protection strategies
• Spousal maintenance and child support disputes, including parentage DNA issues
• Reviews, appeals, and enforcement proceedings
• Court-ordered conciliation conferences and private mediations

Reece is known for his strategic preparation, disciplined case management, and strong advocacy. He works collaboratively with multidisciplinary experts to ensure matters are thoroughly prepared for a hearing, while always assessing opportunities for commercially sensible resolution.

Although he actively promotes dispute resolution where appropriate, Reece does not hesitate to litigate when his client’s financial position or their children’s safety requires firm intervention. His focus is on securing decisive, enforceable outcomes that protect long-term interests.
