Peter Heinz

Partner

Peter Heinz is an accredited Family Law Specialist and the Partner responsible for the Family Law and Probate services at Heinz & Partners. He joined the practice in 1979 and became a Partner shortly after.

Peter has experienced first-hand the expansion in Family Law as a discipline. A notable legal development that Heinz & Partners has embraced is the establishment of court-appointed Child Representatives, who advocate for the interests of a child in a legal dispute. Peter has been appointed on a number occasions, and believes the responsibility of the role is a privilege. "By definition, these cases are very complex and difficult.

A good outcome for the child provides great personal and professional satisfaction," said Peter.
