Resolve Divorce

What Resolve Divorce does

Resolve Divorce is a privately held family law firm headquartered in North Adelaide, South Australia, founded in 2015 by Rose Cocchiaro. The firm provides legal services across seven core practice areas: divorce and separation, property settlements, parenting agreements, child support, spousal maintenance, prenuptial and financial agreements, and donor conception and surrogacy matters. Its distinguishing methodology, 'The Resolve Way,' integrates legal expertise with certified divorce coaching and conflict management, positioning the firm as a non-adversarial alternative to traditional family law practice.

The firm employs 24-30+ staff, including the highest concentration of Accredited Family Law Specialists of any firm in South Australia, supported by solicitors, paralegals, client experience coordinators, and dedicated operational leadership in HR, finance, and legal administration. Technology adoption is limited to standard professional services tooling (Leap for practice management, HubSpot for CRM, Aircall for telephony, SharePoint for document handling) rather than bespoke platforms; the firm's intellectual property is concentrated in its proprietary methodology and brand. The firm runs no software product, holds no patents, and has no disclosed AI capabilities.

Resolve Divorce operates a sales-led, professional services revenue model, billing clients on a quote-based, time-and-complexity basis with matters typically spanning multiple months or years. Go-to-market is direct to consumer, anchored on a free 15-minute discovery call, with no intermediaries or resellers. Distribution is exclusively within Australia, focused on the Adelaide metropolitan area with referrals drawn from across South Australia. The JustFund partnership extends access via legal funding, and the Resolve Network of Professionals wraps allied practitioners (psychologists, coaches, planners, accountants) around the core legal offering.

Broad incumbents

• Shine Lawyers: One of Australia's largest plaintiff-focused law firms with a family law practice; offers overlapping family law services but as part of a much broader national portfolio of personal injury and consumer legal services.
• Slater and Gordon: Major listed Australian law firm with a national family law practice; competes in the same family law category but at much greater scale and as part of a diversified general practice.
• LegalZoom: Largest US online legal services platform offering divorce documentation and related family law forms; broad incumbent that competes with Resolve for the commoditised portion of family law matters at significantly lower price points.

Emerging players

• Sprintlaw: Australian legal tech startup offering online and subscription-based legal services to SMEs and consumers; intersects with Resolve's 'modern' positioning and represents the emerging tech-enabled competition for traditional family law work.
• Hive Legal: Australian legal operations and technology provider supporting modern law firms; relevant as an ecosystem enabler and as an indicator of the tech-enabled legal services category Resolve operates in.
• Hello Divorce: US online divorce platform combining flat-fee legal services with coaching and mediation — closely mirrors Resolve's hybrid legal/coaching model, though delivered online rather than via a traditional firm.
• Wevorce: US-based online divorce service integrating mediation, coaching, and technology; comparable to Resolve in pairing emotional support with legal services, illustrating the international emergence of the hybrid model Resolve pioneered locally.

Direct peers

• LegalVision: Sydney-headquartered innovative Australian law firm with similar growth-stage trajectory, subscription-style pricing, and modern brand positioning; both firms target consumer/SME segments with a tech-enabled, non-traditional approach to legal services.
• Cooper Grace Ward Lawyers: Brisbane-based mid-sized Australian law firm with comparable headcount, boutique positioning, and award recognition; both compete as specialist, mid-market Australian firms with strong regional reputations.
• Armstrong Legal: Australian family law and general practice firm offering similar separation, parenting, and property settlement services across multiple states; comparable service mix and consumer target audience.
