Dispute Resolution & Litigation

We are a personable growing and dynamic team of dispute resolution specialists, who are committed to achieving cost effective resolutions to our clients’ disputes. Immersed in our community for over a century, we value our long-standing client relationships, we understand their needs, and work collaboratively and think creatively to resolve their problems.

Success is a satisfied client, and in our experience that is best achieved by giving client's a realistic assessment of risks, and developing multiple settlement pathways, early on so that we can work toward an efficient resolution wherever possible. We actively track the most effective ways to settle disputes and will apply that knowledge to tailor a strategy that meets our client' needs. We know that our approach works because over the last 12 months, Over 60% of matters in which we are instructed resolve without legal proceedings being issued.

Whilst we are committed to resolving disputes without litigation, there are sometimes matters that require judicial determination. Litigation is a minefield for the unprepared and incautious, and so our early litigation risk analysis forms the basis for giving strategic recommendations, which we review monthly with each of our clients.

Our lawyers regularly appear in all of the Victorian and Federal Courts and Tribunals, and for national clients will frequently represent them in other Australian jurisdictions.
