Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers

What Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers does

Sarah Bevan Family Lawyers is a privately-held boutique law firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, with offices in Parramatta, Surry Hills, and Crows Nest. The firm practices exclusively in family law, with a service catalogue spanning divorce and separation, property and financial settlements, parenting and children matters, child support, surrogacy and fertility law, international family law, collaborative law, mediation, arbitration, consent orders, and wills/powers of attorney.

The firm is led by Sarah Bevan, a Law Society of NSW Accredited Specialist in Family Law, Mediator, and Arbitrator, supported by five additional lawyers (Dalya Oraha, Emma Stillitano, Sophie Abbott, Megan Dally, Tiffany Payne). The firm acquires clients primarily through content marketing (educational articles, newsletters, FAQs), SEO, Facebook engagement, conference speaking (e.g., the Growing Families Surrogacy & Donor Conception National Conference 2026), and referrals generated through memberships in the AEA (Association of European Attorneys) and Justinian Lawyers international networks.

Revenue is generated entirely through fee-for-service legal consultation and representation under quote-based pricing; no technology platform, product, or subscription offering exists. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Target segments include individuals undergoing separation, parents in custody disputes, couples requiring property settlement, international families/ex-pats with cross-border issues, families pursuing surrogacy and donor conception, and LGBTIQA+ individuals. The firm holds no parent company, has no VC/PE backers, and is operated as an independent partnership under Sarah Bevan's ownership.
