Pre-empting and resolving disputes to mitigate risk

Even the most straightforward of dispute resolution scenarios see money, time and energy depleted—they keep leaders up at night, put pressure on important business relationships and potentially damage reputations. In our experience, negotiation, mediation and expert determination is the way to achieve early and cost-effective resolution.

We’re a team of uniquely experienced litigators. From the simple and straightforward, to the challenging and complex, we’ve got you covered locally and internationally across contractual and corporations law disputes, property disputes, arbitration and much more.

When it comes to defamation claims and proceedings, we provide coordinated and strategic advice to both sides, including appropriate control and use of confidential and private information, as well as managing sensitive matters to protect personal and corporate reputations. 

Competition and consumer regulatory actions and private litigation, including consumer protection are a few other strings in our bow.

We’re good at managing issues before a dispute arises—that’s one of the reasons our clients keep coming back. They consult with us to manage distressed projects and know we can handle technical factual project and IT disputes, even those with contract and delivery performance issues, misleading and deceptive conduct, and equitable claims.

We’re truly a one-stop-shop. Our Insolvency and Restructuring team works with individuals, companies and liquidators in liquidations, receiverships, voluntary administrations, bankruptcy, workouts, restructures and asset recovery. We also support debt recovery, and debt and security enforcement.
