Congratulations to Yianni Kordos on being featured in ABC News, sharing his insights in the article “Family lawyers say there's growing interest in ‘prenups’. Here's how they work.”

We are proud to see Yianni recognised as a trusted voice in family law and contributing to important national conversations on relationship and financial planning.
