International Family Law Alliance

Sound Advice;
Succinct Strategies;
and Successful Solutions.

Our key objective is to provide clients with comprehensive and complete advice on all Family Law; parentage; and matrimonial matters. Sayer Jones and GJC share a particular aim of focussing on our strategies to secure clients the best possible outcome.

In doing so, we endeavour to provide clients with clarity on vision at each step of the Family Law process. This objective is the cornerstone of our International Alliance.

Who We Are

With the shared vision of being entirely thorough and comprehensive in the provision of Family Law representation across South East Asia and Australasia, the practitioners of Sayer Jones and Gloria James-Civetta & Co (GJC) share an intricacy for detail in the provision of Family Law services.

The alliance between the two firms balances this without compromising cost-efficiency.

What We Do

Our International Alliance strives for excellence in terms of the manner in which we act for clients across our region and beyond; how we represent them; and by virtue of the outcomes we obtain for them.  Our common trait is being critical in all aspects of our thinking.

How We Do It
