Practice areas
Disputes that put real value at risk
We act for businesses and their owners across the commercial disputes that threaten money, control, reputation and time — by negotiation, mediation or litigation, as the situation demands.
Our approach
Two ways we end your dispute
Most firms only really do one. We’re built for both — and the judgement to know which your matter needs.
Resolve it commercially
Where a sensible outcome is on the table, we get you there fast — by negotiation or mediation. Usually quicker, more private and a fraction of the cost of a full fight.
- Mediation led by a nationally accredited mediator, in-house
- Pre-litigation negotiation & settlement strategy
- Confidential, commercial outcomes
Litigate decisively
When the other side won’t move, we move. Strategic, prepared and relentless — to the Supreme, Federal or High Court when your matter warrants it.
- Supreme, District, Federal & High Court litigation
- Urgent injunctions & freezing orders
- Senior counsel engaged only as required — the right barrister for your matter
“The fact that we’ll go all the way is often exactly why your matter never has to.”
We don’t run up fees on fights that should settle. And we don’t fold on fights worth winning. Either way, we’re in your corner — acting for your result, not our invoice.
