ABOUT ARCWELL
Built on experience, guided by principle
WHO WE ARE
A modern, boutique approach
Arcwell Legal was founded by Amanda Fitzgibbon and Anna Bodman after many years practising family law within traditional firm structures. Over time, they recognised the need for a different kind of practice — one that prioritised careful judgement, thoughtful strategy, and a more composed approach to resolving difficult disputes.
Family law often sits at the intersection of personal change and significant financial consequence. We believe clients benefit from advice that is both clear and considered, particularly when the issues are complex or emotions are running high.
Arcwell was created to provide that environment: a focused, senior-led practice where clients work directly with experienced lawyers who remain closely involved throughout each matter.
The aim is simple — to guide clients through challenging moments with clarity, structure, and sound legal judgement.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Arc. The Well.
The name Arcwell reflects the purpose behind our practice.
The Arc — the natural transitions of life.
The Well — the stability and wellbeing we seek to restore.
We do not simply resolve disputes. We guide clients through change and help position them for secure, stable futures.
WHAT WE DO
Comprehensive family law services
Arcwell Legal advises across the full spectrum of family law matters, including relationship property disputes, parenting arrangements, family violence proceedings, estate-related claims, and capacity issues.
Our work often arises at times of significant personal change. We provide careful guidance to help clients understand their position, navigate complex issues, and move forward with confidence.
