Our Offering
Developing sensible litigation strategies
Our experience across a broad spectrum of dispute types in different courts and tribunals allows us to develop strategies which make sense in a commercial environment. We focus on outcomes which allow you to achieve your goals, rather than wasting client time and emotional energy on fighting procedural battles which often bog down litigation. We advise you sensibly on litigation risks so that you can make the right decisions along the way.
Working effectively with clients, barristers, witnesses and experts
Effective litigation management is essential to achieve the desired outcomes for clients. We work effectively with clients as well as all of the other members of the team necessary to successfully resolve disputes.
Managing disputes in a cost-efficient manner
Our strategies and effective litigation management allow us to be cost-efficient. We provide realistic and timely estimates of costs likely to be incurred along the way, as well as ways to minimise those costs. We do not want our clients to have any surprises.
Court representation
We represent clients in the Land and Environment Court, NCAT, and Supreme and Federal Court proceedings in a broad range of disputes affecting the real estate, hotels and construction industries.
