Dispute & Litigation
Most disputes are resolved before they reach a courtroom. We prepare for both outcomes.
Commercial and personal disputes rarely arrive with a clear next step — negotiate, send a formal letter of demand, or start proceedings. We assess the strength of a claim early, favour negotiation and mediation where it serves the client, and litigate decisively in the Supreme Court of Victoria and VCAT when it doesn't. We give an honest read on the strength of a claim before recommending a course of action, because a demand letter that goes nowhere costs more than the fee saved by skipping proper advice.
