Our aim is to assist clients to avoid disputes wherever possible, with the realisation that disputes are sometimes an inevitable part of doing business. We work with our clients to provide practical advice and devise litigation strategies that realistically identify the prospects of success. Where appropriate, we explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation or arbitration. We place a strong emphasis in working together with our clients before a dispute arises. This includes advice on risk management and dispute prevention. We work closely with our clients to review the legal and strategic position against the relevant factual and legal frameworks. We recognise technical ability alone is not enough, and we seek to build exceptional working relationships with our clients. By doing so, we are able to develop a deeper understanding of our clients’ businesses, provide commercially astute, innovative advice and create better business outcomes for our clients. Our team applies a variety of strategies, chosen in consultation with our client to meet the needs of the particular case. These may include conducting litigation, to best preserve or enforce rights, or implementing options to complement or supplement court processes, such as mediation, arbitration, negotiation and ADR procedures. Our dispute resolution experience includes claims management and contract administration, mediation, expert determination, security of payment adjudication, arbitration and litigation. If a dispute does eventuate, our comprehensive litigation, arbitration and mediation experience allows us to deliver an efficient and cost effective result.
