Nicholas Plummer

Nicholas is a Senior Associate at Grice Legal, practising predominantly in family and succession law. He understands that the matters he handles — separation, the loss of a loved one, or planning for the future — are rarely just legal. They're deeply personal, and often arrive at some of the most stressful moments in a person's life. His job is to make the legal side feel clear, calm and manageable.

Admitted in 2015, Nicholas has continually expanded his knowledge and built on his experience, offering a modern, engaging and down-to-earth approach to resolving a wide range of legal issues for both commercial and private clients.

Nicholas regularly acts in property settlement and complex children's matters in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia across the Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane registries. His property work addresses the division of assets between married and de facto spouses, frequently involving complex interests in family businesses and trusts. His children's matters have included cases where children are at risk, relocation disputes, and the variation of existing orders.

In succession law, Nicholas advises on succession planning and estate administration, including applications for grants of representation. He regularly acts in testator family maintenance proceedings — for both claimants and estates — which involves regular appearances in the Supreme Court of Victoria and conducting mediations.

Above all, Nicholas never loses sight of the person behind the file. Clients consistently describe him as professional, understanding and clear in his advice — and he keeps their interests and families front of mind at every step. If you're navigating a family law issue or thinking about your estate planning, you can book a consultation with Nicholas to talk through your options.
