What we do
We offer a comprehensive array of commercial litigation services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
01
Commercial Disputes
These can be simply described as “fights about money” and can arise from a variety of factual circumstances. Such disputes may involve land sale contracts, commercial contracts, leases, securities, partnerships, corporate matters, including shareholder disputes and matters involving director’s statutory obligations, joint ventures, community title and body corporate matters, the Australian Consumer Law, intellectual property, franchising and agency matters and any other issues arising in personal, commercial or business dealings.
02
Building and Construction
Disputes often arise in the building and construction industry in respect of the quality of work undertaken, the cost of the work, delays, rectification of defects and variations. We have significant experience in handling such disputes including the preparation of sub-contractors’ charges, payment claims and schedules and adjudication applications and responses under the Building Industry Fairness (Security of Payment) Act 2017 (Qld) and its interstate equivalents. We also have extensive experience in urgent court applications seeking injunctive relief as well as alternative dispute resolution processes such as arbitrations and expert determination. We can provide in-house risk management training to businesses and individuals engaged in the building and construction industry.

Debt Recovery

Insolvency
We regularly act for Bankruptcy Trustees and Company Liquidators in respect of a variety of insolvency matters. We also assist clients facing a potential insolvency event to minimise the impact on their (and their related parties’) assets and structures.

Industrial Relations & Employment Law
This may involve advice for the preparation of employment or contractor agreements (with a focus on minimising future risks), assisting with effecting dismissals or redundancies, advice regarding employee entitlements, management issues, employee performance, risk reduction and management of workplace health and safety obligations. We regularly assist both employers and employees with Fair Work Commission disputes including Unfair Dismissal and General Protection Applications.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
We can arrange, attend and manage mediations or without prejudice conferences to maximise the prospects of resolving any disputes at the earliest stage possible.
