Services

  • Our disputes and litigation practice is at the core of what we do. We act for businesses, creditors and financiers in resolving commercial disputes, with a particular focus on the building and construction, finance and debt recovery sectors. From early negotiation through to hearing and judgment, we act in the Magistrates' Court, County Court, Supreme Court and Federal Court, as well as relevant tribunals.

    All litigation is run on a staged fixed-fee basis. Each stage is clearly scoped and quoted in a cost agreement before it begins, so you know exactly what you will pay and can choose whether to proceed at every step.

    Our key areas include:

    • Building & Construction Disputes

    • Commercial & Contractual Disputes

    • Debt & Asset Recovery

    • Insolvency Litigation

    • Insurance Litigation

    • Alternative Dispute Resolution

    • Mediation

    • Enforcement

    To give clients certainty throughout the litigation process, we break each matter into defined stages, including:
