Dispute Resolution

We understand that finding a commercial solution to a dispute is the priority, that sometimes resolution can be achieved quickly through a negotiated settlement, but that at other times litigation is unavoidable.

Avoiding, managing and resolving disputes are a fact of business life. Our dispute resolution team is experienced in effectively dealing with disputes in the courts and through the use of alternative dispute resolution.

Disputes occur across all industry sectors. We are particularly experienced in dealing with disputes in the construction and engineering; energy; and property development sectors, ranging from contractual disputes to public and products liability.

Our experience covers:

• shareholder and partnership disputes
• misleading and deceptive conduct
• advising clients in investigations and inquiries
• property disputes
• equity litigation
• trusts disputes
• breach of contract and indemnity issues

We advise on matters which are small, such as home building disputes in the Consumer Trader and Tenancy Tribunal, through to complex contractual disputes in the Supreme and Federal Courts.

After resolution is achieved we help our clients avoid being in the same situation again by recommending practical risk management procedures applying to every day work practices.
