Disputes & Litigation

Disputes are stressful and, handled poorly, expensive. Our approach is to understand what you actually want to achieve, advise you candidly on the strengths and risks of your position, and then pursue the most efficient path to a resolution — whether that is a negotiated settlement, mediation, or proceedings in a court or tribunal.

How we can help

• Contractual and commercial disputes
• Property and building disputes
• Debt recovery and enforcement
• Partnership, shareholder and business disputes
• Negotiation and mediation
• Proceedings in the courts and at VCAT
• Advice on prospects, costs and strategy before you commit

Proportionate, strategic, candid

We will tell you early if a dispute is not worth pursuing, and we will not run up costs for their own sake. Where a matter does need to be fought, we prepare thoroughly and advocate firmly, keeping you informed of the likely cost and the realistic range of outcomes throughout.
