Driving Results Through Strategy.

Track Wealth was built for one type of client: the high-income professional who has worked hard to get where they are and wants to make sure their money is working just as hard. For lawyers and barristers whether you're a partner drawing distributions through a firm structure, a barrister billing brief fees as a sole trader, or a senior associate moving toward partnership that means advice that understands the way legal income flows, how it's taxed, and what it takes to build real personal wealth alongside a career that rarely leaves room to think about it.

Proactive Advice

We don’t wait for you to come to us. We monitor legislation changes, investment performance, and your personal circumstances so your strategy stays ahead, not behind.

No two lawyers or barristers have the same financial position. Whether you’re a partner receiving profit distributions, a barrister managing irregular brief fee income, or a senior associate on a high salary with little time to think beyond it, we build strategies around how your money actually works not a template applied to everyone.

Your finances don’t exist in silos. We coordinate across your super, investments, tax, insurance, and estate plan and work directly alongside your accountant, solicitor, and practice manager so nothing falls through the cracks.

Legal careers don’t follow a schedule. Our clients have direct access to Leigh throughout the year by phone, email, or meeting whenever a decision comes up that needs a second opinion or a financial perspective.

Find the Right Solution for Your Situation

Legal professionals typically earn well. The problem is that high income doesn’t automatically translate to high wealth particularly when long hours, high living costs, and a focus on career leave little room to think about what’s actually accumulating.

Personal Investment Strategy
We build an investment strategy that works alongside your income shares, managed funds, and property structures that build wealth outside super so your financial position isn't entirely dependent on how long you keep practising.
Super Contribution Strategy
High-income legal professionals often under-utilise super as a tax-effective wealth vehicle. We build a contribution strategy around concessional and non-concessional caps, catch-up contributions, and spousal strategies to build your balance as efficiently as possible.
Self Managed Super Fund Advice
For lawyers and barristers with significant super balances, an SMSF can provide greater investment control and flexibility including the ability to hold commercial property or direct share portfolios inside a tax-effective structure. We advise on whether it makes sense for your situation and manage the setup and ongoing compliance if it does.

Lawyers and barristers are among the highest-taxed professionals in Australia not because of anything they’re doing wrong, but because income at this level demands a proactive strategy, and most legal professionals are too busy to build one.

Whether you’re a partner receiving profit distributions through a firm structure, a barrister managing brief fees as a sole trader, or a senior associate on a top-tier salary, the tax position is different in each case and so is the solution.

Partnership Income Structuring
Partners in legal firms receive income through profit distributions, often with limited ability to vary timing or structure. We review how that income interacts with your personal tax position and build a strategy that reduces what you pay without disrupting how the firm operates.
Debt Recycling
If you're carrying a home loan alongside your high legal income, debt recycling converts non-deductible personal debt into tax-deductible investment debt — one of the most effective strategies available to high-income professionals with strong cash flow.

Most legal professionals have a point in mind at which they’d like to slow down or step back entirely. The problem is they’ve never had anyone sit down and show them what that actually looks like financially what they need, whether they’re on track, and what has to happen between now and then.

We give you that answer.

Retirement Income Modelling
We model your retirement position across multiple scenarios at different timelines, with different income assumptions, and with and without the sale of a practice interest so you have a clear picture of where you stand and what you're working toward.
Pre-Retirement Wealth Building
The final years of a legal career are the highest-earning years. We make sure super, investments, and personal wealth are positioned to make the most of that window before income from the profession stops.
Transition to Retirement Planning
Whether you're winding back hours, stepping away from partnership, or exiting completely, we build the strategy around the transition minimising tax on the way out and making sure the financial structure is ready to support the life you've worked toward.

FAQ's

Questions Lawyers and Barristers Ask Before Getting Started

I'm a partner in a law firm how does that affect my financial planning?

Partnership income adds a layer of complexity that most general financial advisers aren’t set up to handle. How distributions are made, how the firm is structured, and how your personal tax position interacts with your partnership interest all affect the strategy. We work with law firm partners regularly and understand how to build around it coordinating with your firm’s accountant where needed.

We work directly alongside your existing accountant. We share strategy documentation, coordinate on tax planning ahead of year end, and make sure the financial advice and the tax advice are consistent and not working against each other. For legal professionals, this coordination is especially important given the complexity of partnership and trust structures.

In many cases, yes. Ongoing financial advice fees relating to the management of investments and income-producing assets are generally tax deductible. We confirm what applies to your specific situation and coordinate with your accountant to make sure they’re claimed correctly.

Yes. We integrate your business exit into your broader retirement and investment strategy including how to structure the sale, how to deploy the proceeds, and what the financial picture looks like before and after the transaction. We work alongside your accountant and solicitor on the detail.
