About Mahons with Yuncken & Yuncken Lawyers

Mahons with Yuncken & Yuncken Lawyers (commonly operating as Mahons Lawyers) is a long-standing Victorian law firm operating out of offices in Blackburn and South Morang.

Tracing its roots back to 1929 through the acquisition of Yuncken & Yuncken in 2000, the firm delivers full-service legal support to individuals, families, and businesses across Melbourne’s eastern and northern suburbs, as well as regional Victoria.

Experience and Expertise in Family Law

Family Law is one of the core dedicated practice areas at Mahons. Supported by a specialised family law team—including practitioners such as Annalise Jackson, Penelope Antoniou-Libreri, and Priscilla Chlebna—the firm assists clients through sensitive life transitions and complex family law issues.

Parenting & Children’s Matters: Structuring clear parenting plans, handling custody arrangements, and navigating high-conflict parenting disputes.

Financial & Property Settlements: Managing property divisions, complex asset pools, spousal maintenance, and financial agreements (including prenuptials and post-separation agreements).

Educational Resources: The firm regularly publishes specialised legal guidance, such as their Guide to Family Law, aimed at helping clients understand options surrounding separation, parenting, and asset distribution with clarity before entering proceedings.

Professional Reputation

Mahons has earned a strong reputation across Victoria for combining legal precision with long-term stability. Managing Director and Founder Anthony Mahon brings over 40 years of experience as a Barrister and Solicitor admitted to the Supreme Courts of Victoria and Tasmania, as well as the High Court of Australia.

The firm is known for maintaining low staff turnover, with many solicitors, clerks, and support staff staying with the firm for decades. This continuity gives clients consistent points of contact across multi-generational matters, including estate planning, family business succession, and commercial acquisitions.

The firm’s philosophy rests on combining technical legal expertise with human empathy.

Advice Without Jargon: Translating complex legal frameworks into plain English so clients remain informed and in control of their decisions.
