Bespoke Binding Financial Agreements crafted for high net worth individuals. Safeguard your business, property, and wealth with expert legal precision and absolute discretion.
A Binding Financial Agreement (BFA) is a legally enforceable document under the Family Law Act 1975, specifically sections 90B (before marriage) and 90C (during marriage). It sets out how assets, liabilities, and financial resources will be divided if a relationship ends.
While often called a “prenup”, a BFA is far more versatile. It can be made before, during, or after a marriage or de facto relationship. Crucially, BFAs aren’t just for divorce — they protect your assets during the relationship, providing clarity and certainty from day one.
For high net worth individuals, a properly drafted BFA ensures that business interests, family trusts, investment portfolios, and inherited wealth remain protected. Both parties must receive independent legal advice for the agreement to be binding.
We combine deep legal expertise with a modern, confidential process designed for individuals who expect nothing less than the best.

The entire process was handled with a level of professionalism and discretion I didn’t think was possible online. My business interests and property portfolio were complex, but the team navigated everything seamlessly. I felt genuinely protected.
As a medical specialist, my practice goodwill was a major concern. Accord Private understood the nuances of professional asset structures and crafted an agreement that gave both my partner and me complete confidence. Highly recommended.
I had equity in two startups and a complex share structure that most lawyers struggled to understand. The team at Accord Private got it immediately. The video consultations were incredibly convenient, and the whole process was wrapped up in weeks, not months.
