Our expert lawyers are actively engaged in leading industry bodies such as the Insolvency Practitioners of Australia and the Law Institute of Victoria, the Building Dispute Practitioners Society and Commercial Litigation Specialisation Advisory Committee.

A key feature of the Litigation department is our strength in commercial litigation, distinguished by personalised service. We use on-site visits and in-house seminars to keep our clients informed of developments that affect them.

Our areas of expertise also include insurance, personal and corporate insolvency, building and construction disputes, banking and finance recoveries, personal injury, workplace relations, intellectual property and criminal law.

We advise on contractual disputes including trade practices claims, disputes in relation to interests in land, partnership and shareholders’ disputes, recovery of debts, commercial tenancy disputes and claims in relation to defective equipment.

Some of our clients are familiar with the litigation process, others are not. No matter who we act for, the constant is that our clients rely on us to provide expert and frank counsel on their individual position. Our purpose is to guide our clients through the litigation process in a timely and cost-efficient way, by providing specialised, realistic and strategic advice.

Where a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations, our lawyers have the experience and expertise to advise and represent clients in the formal process of litigation. We are experienced litigators in both State and Federal jurisdictions.

Alternative dispute resolution is an important part of the future of legal services in Australia. We have positioned ourselves to enable our clients to take full advantage of the benefits that this method can provide.
