Commercial Litigation

If you find yourself facing a dispute which could lead to litigation, swift, strategic action is key to minimising potential negative effects. With expert advice, most commercial and personal disputes can be resolved without a trial.

 

In the early stage of a dispute, we can help you develop a strategy which will identify likely outcomes and any vulnerabilities in your position in order to create a path to resolution. This might include a negotiated settlement, either informally or with the help of a trained mediator.

 

We understand that the success of your business depends on reaching a commercial outcome. Our advice is goal focused and balances the pros and cons of proceeding to trial. As aggressive litigators, we will relentlessly pursue your rights and entitlements on your behalf both in and out of the courtroom.

 

If the matter does proceed to trial, our many years of litigation experience will help you achieve the best outcome possible from the courts. Our litigation expertise extends across a wide range of practice areas. We will use the court process to enforce your legal rights and achieve your business objectives; not only resolving disputes but creating opportunities from them.

 

We work across a range of disputes. This includes helping directors and shareholders in business disputes where there is conflict between co-owners or other stakeholders. We will help you to resolve the dispute or negotiate a separation of interests where business partners can no longer work together.

 

If you are being pursued by the Australian Taxation Office, we can represent you by negotiating and litigating liabilities to achieve tax effective outcomes. If your dispute is related to property, we can help you to obtain security and facilitate property transactions.
