Litigation lawyers
We have extensive experience dealing with litigation and dispute resolution before State and Federal courts and tribunals, including experience with alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation.
We adopt a pragmatic approach to litigation in order to resolve disputes and achieve outcomes in a cost-effective manner. Wherever possible, we are also happy to look at negotiating fixed fee stages for litigation.
Where matters proceed to hearing, we are also able to brief counsel (also known as a barrister) on your behalf.
