Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Recent Publications
Key People

We understand that resolving disputes can be stressful, time consuming and expensive. Our experience shows that success in dispute resolution usually depends on early intervention and clear dispute resolution planning. With a strong strategy in place, we work with you to resolve the dispute efficiently, with the aim of achieving the best possible outcome.

Our team successfully resolves disputes - if possible, before they become litigious - by implementing the dispute management strategy that best achieves your objectives while recognising commercial and economic realities.

While that may involve litigation, our team has successfully resolved many potentially expensive and protracted disputes for some of Queensland and Australia's largest organisations through sensible and skilled negotiation or at mediation. We have experience advising on a range of complex commercial litigation matters, including joint-venture, company, trust, estate, leasing and commercial contract disputes.

Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution team includes both general commercial litigation practitioners as well as industry specialist practitioners in the areas of banking and finance, construction, hospitality, tourism and gaming, employment law, property, and mining and energy.
