It is often in the best interests of the client for litigation to be the last resort for a resolution. Depending on the circumstances of each client’s dispute, we like to start with a discussion about alternative dispute resolution options prior to commencing what could be an expensive and lengthy litigation process.

 

We can conduct mediations, assist you in negotiations, or take you through the arbitration process. When negotiation, mediation or arbitration are not successful or the best option for you, we can facilitate your matter through the full litigation process in the Victorian or Federal Court system, retaining expert barristers – from junior counsel to Senior or Queens Counsel – where necessary.

 

Our litigation team has experience in:

​

• Commercial disputes (trade and/or commerce)

• Damages for loss

• Out-of-court settlements

• Conducting mediations

• Advocating matters in various lists at VCAT

• Advocating matters in various lists at the Magistrates’, County or Supreme Courts and the Federal Courts

• Briefing expert barristers and instructing at trial.

 

Our experience in litigation means that we can provide you with a range of options in resolving your dispute and a competitive estimate of costs ensuring that you do not walk away from a successful case owing more to your lawyer than you received from the Court.
