APAC Insider- Legal Awards 2025 | 12 Holistic Law is a multi-award-winning family law practice founded by Shallice Cockram, lawyer, mediator, and chartered accountant. The firm was built on a simple principle, only work with people you can genuinely help, and who are sincere in their efforts to do the right thing. Holistic Law offers highly personalised, values-driven support seven days a week, with a particular focus on parenting and property matters where the wellbeing of children is central. The practice helps everyday people navigate life’s hardest transitions with clarity, care, and dignity. As the firm gains national recognition, it continues to explore future growth and collaborative opportunities that align with its mission. Following two major wins at the APAC Legal Awards 2025, we spoke with Shallice to learn more about their work, values, and what’s ahead. Best Holistic Family Law Firm 2025 – Queensland & APAC Insider Client Service Excellence Award 2025 Holistic Law began at the mediation table, sitting with people who were heartbroken, angry, and confused, trying to divide not just a household, but a life. We’ve seen parents arrive clutching documents in one hand and tissues in the other, their voices shaking as they ask, “Where do I even start?” What began as helping families navigate conflict soon revealed a deeper need: broader legal guidance, court representation, parenting plans, property settlement advice, and practical support through life’s hardest transitions. In response, Holistic Law evolved into a full-service family law practice, grounded in the same calm, human-centred approach that defined its beginnings. Today, the firm provides a full range of family law services, parenting matters, property settlements, divorce, consent orders, mediation, and family dispute resolution. It also assists with urgent and complex parenting applications, including interstate and international relocation matters, supporting clients across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania. No matter the jurisdiction, the approach is the same: tailored legal advice, delivered with empathy, clarity, and respect. The clients who come to Holistic Law aren’t celebrities or high-networth individuals; they’re parents, grandparents, small business owners, shift workers, and carers. Most never expected to be here. They’ve tried to hold their families together, often sacrificing sleep, health, and stability. When they finally seek legal advice, it’s not because they’ve given up, it’s because they want to protect what matters most. Some are desperate to reconnect with their children after long periods of separation. Others simply want to feel heard, respected, and supported during one of the most difficult times of their lives. Holistic Law provides more than legal services; it offers clarity and direction during uncertainty. We take the time to explain the legal process, what clients can expect, and what their rights and responsibilities are, and are upfront about what the law can and can’t do. That’s why Holistic Law works alongside a trusted network of psychologists, family therapists, financial advisors, and other professionals, ensuring clients receive the full range of support they need. With the right guidance and a practical, forward-focused plan, the practice helps bring structure, stability, and peace of mind to families navigating change. Believing that everyone deserves access to clear, practical legal guidance, Holistic Law contributes time each week to a free Wednesday night online session alongside a panel of experienced family mediators. These sessions offer practical support to individuals navigating separation and divorce, covering topics such as the legal process, parenting arrangements, property settlements, and the emotional impact on children. Participation is voluntary and value-driven, reflecting the firm’s founding belief that the best interests of children should always be front and centre. “We don’t do this work for recognition,” says Shallice. “We do it because we know what it’s like to stand with people at their lowest and help them build something stronger out of what’s been lost. Family law is emotional, complex, and sometimes thankless, but it’s also where lives can be rebuilt, and where hope can be restored, one family at a time.” “Being acknowledged through the APAC Legal Awards is an honour, but more than that, it’s a quiet reminder that leading with ethics, sincerity, and genuine care shapes futures and transforms lives.” Contact Details Company name: Holistic Law Contact name: Shallice Cockram Website: www.holisticlaw.com.au AIM-Jun25177
