About Tegan Martens, Brisbane Principal Lawyer and Founder of Martens Legal, Brisbane’s best Family Lawyers for Mediation and Divorce
You won’t find Tegan in a suit, behind a big desk speaking in legal jargon. You’ll find her beside her clients, literally, translating the messy, emotional world of separation into calm, clear next steps.
As the Founder and Principal of Martens Legal, Tegan leads with strategy, empathy, and an unshakable belief that family law shouldn’t feel like a war zone. With over a decade of experience, she’s helped hundreds of people make confident decisions during some of the most uncertain times in their lives.
She knows what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by options, legal documents, timelines and costs. That’s why she created Martens Legal: to offer a smarter, more human way forward. One where clients feel supported, informed and genuinely cared for.
Because we believe that when you’re supported by people who genuinely care, you can make confident decisions about your future — no matter how complex things may feel at the start.
This mission remains our anchor: to make a real, positive impact - in the lives of our clients, and in the way family law is experienced. One case, one person, one outcome at a time.
Tegan’s known for being sharp, solution-focused, and deeply committed to outcomes that preserve dignity, not escalate conflict. Whether she’s negotiating a complex property settlement or supporting a client through mediation, she brings clarity to chaos and calm to high-stress situations.
Whether your matter is amicable or complex, Tegan’s role is to reduce stress, guide your decisions, and help you get to the other side with your values (and sanity) intact.
Tegan works closely with clients to provide clarity, confidence, and tailored solutions in matters such as:
Separation & Divorce
Helping clients make legally sound, emotionally supported decisions as they navigate the end of a relationship.
Property Settlements
Achieving fair, efficient division of assets, superannuation, and financial interests — especially when businesses or complex property pools are involved.
Parenting Arrangements
Guiding clients through co-parenting plans and consent orders that prioritise the best interests of their children.
Mediation & Strategic Negotiation
Facilitating resolution through clear, collaborative processes — often avoiding the need for Court entirely.
Arbitration & Court Representation
When Court is necessary, Tegan brings sharp advocacy, straight-talking advice, and calm leadership every step of the way.
When she’s not working directly with clients, she’s focused on growing the firm with purpose and staying grounded in the values Martens Legal was built on:
Real connection. Practical support. And no B.S.
