Deon List is a lawyer and family law mediator who brings a rare blend of professional expertise, lived experience, and empathy to his practice. He holds a Bachelor of Pharmacy, a Master of Business Administration, and a Juris Doctor, and has a strong foundation in business leadership and negotiation.
Deon’s path into law and mediation was deeply personal. After assisting a close contact through a difficult property settlement, he became disillusioned with the costly and adversarial nature of Australia’s separation process. This experience inspired him to retrain as a lawyer and establish a resolution-focused, cost-conscious mediation service, designed to help couples navigate separation with clarity, dignity, and minimal animosity.
With a track record of building and leading a 200-employee business, Deon is a calm, measured, and compassionate professional who understands the value of clear communication and fair outcomes. He works closely with separating couples to resolve property and parenting matters in a way that allows them to retain control and achieve just, equitable, and child-focused solutions—always with the best interests of the family at heart.
Professional, warm, and highly approachable, Deon is committed to providing an alternative to conflict-driven separation.
We offer confidential and supportive mediation to help separated couples resolve property settlements and children's arrangements. Our goal is to facilitate respectful communication, reduce conflict, and assist you in reaching practical, lasting agreements without going to court.
