We care about you.
Luke Shanahan the Sunshine Coast’s sharpest legal mind with a tennis racquet in one hand and a lasagna fork in the other. With over 15 years in the game, Luke leads Shanahan Family Law with precision, compassion, and an ever-growing archive of meticulously drafted binding financial agreements.
Raised in Townsville and trained at James Cook University, Luke skyrocketed from trainee to partner faster than Federer serves an ace — a fitting comparison for a man who travels annually to the Australian Open and quotes Arnie’s motivational speeches like gospel.
He’s a globe-trotter, father of three bright daughters, and husband to Amanda — all while juggling court appearances, podcast guest spots, and meditative mornings inspired by The Miracle Morning.
When he’s not solving complex SMSF property splits or preventing unlawful international removals, you might find him skiing down Coronet Peak or wondering why his cat coughs after drinking water (vet says: not congenital).
Luke’s legal drafts are as polished as his MBF cover comparisons are thorough — and he’ll take two spaces after a full stop every. single. time.
