Legal Advice and Services

Our solicitors have proven experience in litigation, appearing in the High Court, Federal Court, Supreme and District Courts and specialist tribunals.

Our litigation group provides a vital complementary resource to our advisory work and mediation service for our key areas of practice, resulting in a full service commercial and corporate law firm.

Managing Disputes

Our firm has wide experience in jurisdictions across Australia and has assisted our clients in international and foreign legal proceedings.
Addressing and managing disputes earlier mitigates escalation of the dispute and is more likely to engender a focus on a satisfactory, early and commercial resolution.

Members of our litigation department often appear in courts themselves to avoid the expense of barristers where appropriate. This means service is delivered quickly, efficiently and vigorously.

Our Experience

We have approached courts for urgent interlocutory relief on short notice, obtaining orders for urgent relief and pursued damages claims in contractual disputes arising from breaches and repudiation of contracts, directors’ disputes, shareholders disputes and disputes between companies and its shareholders and breaches of fiduciary duties.

We also conduct intellectual property litigation in asserting and defending our clients’ rights in information technology ventures.
