Litigation

We advise on a wide range of civil and commercial dispute matters and can represent you in the Local, District, Supreme Courts and New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) as either the plaintiff/applicant or the defendant/respondent.

Self-represented clients may find it difficult to understand the documents they receive or are served with, and the complex rules and procedures that must be followed in each separate Court jurisdiction (in addition to effectively making arguments based on relevant legislation and case law) which can jeopardise the success of the case, result in higher costs and Court orders to pay the other side’s legal costs.

Experienced legal assistance ensures no procedural mistakes or missteps occur such as improper filing and service of documents, or inadequate evidence preparation which both cause added delays, costs and sometimes dismissal of the case altogether.

Matters heard in Court as well as those resolved in private mediation can have long lasting financial, personal or business-related consequences that fail to consider future issues, so it is important that a qualified lawyer presents the best possible case on your behalf with minimal risk in order to protect your interests long-term.

Our solicitors have over four decades of experience as solicitor advocates in various jurisdictions, and can manage all aspects of a dispute in a competitive, cost-effective and efficient manner.

Our expertise allows us to provide strategic advice from the outset which can assist you in avoiding costly Court proceedings and drawn out disputes altogether.

As a business ourselves, we understand the importance of a practical approach that preserves your rights and future success, especially in periods of economic downturn where simple legal mistakes cannot be afforded.
