Commercial Litigation
We understand both the financial and non-financial impact that litigation can have on individuals and businesses. As litigation can be an time consuming and costly process, we always look for opportunities to resolve disputes without the need for court action. Where attempts to resolve disputes prove unsuccessful, you may have to either commence or defend litigation to enforce your rights.
In circumstances where litigation is required, our expertise includes:
- Bankruptcy and insolvency matters.
- Debt recovery.
- Building and construction.
- Contractual disputes.
- Commercial disputes.
- Director disputes, including claims for breaches of directors’ duties.
- Lease disputes.
- Partnership and shareholder disputes.
- Professional negligence claims.
- Personal property securities (PPSA) disputes.
- Real property disputes.
- Regulatory disputes and investigations.
- Restraint of trade claims.
- Subpoena and non-party discovery disputes.
- Trade marks and intellectual property disputes.
