Separation, done better
Legal Mars was founded by Helen Doukas, an Australian lawyer who led legal functions in the global tech sector, most recently as General Counsel of a legal tech company.
After going through her own separation, Helen found the experience overwhelming. Not just because the law was complicated, but also because something so common had no clear, simple path through it. The process was manual, confusing, and harder than it needed to be.
The law wasn't meant to make hard times harder. The intention of justice is the opposite.
Drawing on top-tier legal expertise and deep experience in how technology transforms services, Helen built Legal Mars, a better way through separation and relationship transitions.
Our Philosophy
The law doesn’t have to be intimidating. By breaking down complexities and offering clear information, we help individuals navigate one of the most challenging experiences of their lives. Our principles guide everything we do:
On the Legal Frontier
Where law meets technology - designed for the way people live now. We’re building the legal services of the future.
Radical Transparency
Quality legal services that are upfront about our fees, what’s included and what’s not. If we can answer with a yes or no, we will.
Built for Cooperation
We choose to work exclusively with cooperative matters, because better outcomes happen when both parties want resolution, not conflict.
We envision a future where the law works as hard for people as it does for institutions.
We envision a future where navigating life's biggest legal moments is clear, fair, and within reach for everyone.
We believe the best legal services haven't been built yet. We're building them.
