Our Team

Philosophy & Background

Established in 2002, HW Litigation was the first boutique commercial litigation firm in Queensland.

Services

Our specialised team can assist in all facets of dispute resolution, risk management, negotiation, and Court action where appropriate..

Lawyer Referrals

Many law firms practice exclusively in commercial law and have no interest, nor the expertise, to become involved in commercial litigation.

We believe the best results for our clients are obtained when their lawyer is “on the front foot” in all facets of the case.
