Commercial litigation

Commercial litigation that protects the business, not the ego.

We act for businesses, directors and high net worth individuals in commercial disputes — with a focus on the result, the cost and the relationship, not the war.

Matters we handle

  • Contract disputes — performance, breach, termination, damages.
  • Shareholder and partnership disputes.
  • Director's duties and corporate governance disputes.
  • Debt recovery and statutory demands.
  • Insolvency-related litigation, including unfair preference claims.
  • Misleading and deceptive conduct claims under the Australian Consumer Law.
  • Property and leasing disputes.
  • Trust and equity disputes.

Our approach

We work backwards from the commercial result you actually want — recover the money, exit the partner, save the contract, preserve the brand — and we plan the matter from there. We are not interested in running expensive litigation for its own sake. Where mediation, sensible correspondence or early settlement will get you a better outcome, that is what we'll recommend.

When matters do need to go to court, we run them tightly. Where the matter calls for it, we work with a select group of senior and junior barristers and forensic accountants we have known and worked with for years.

A clear-eyed view of your dispute is one call away.
