Our Approach to Dispute Resolution
Legal disputes can be costly and time-consuming. Our approach focuses on achieving practical and cost-effective outcomes for our clients.
Where appropriate, we encourage our clients to resolve disputes through:
- mediation or alternative dispute resolution
- informal dispute resolution conference
- court-based dispute resolution conference
- negotiation between legal representatives
Many disputes can be resolved without the need for a final court hearing. Early legal advice and strategic negotiation can significantly improve the prospects of reaching a favourable resolution.
We have internal mediator who are experience in help client prepare for a private mediation. We also work with external mediators and professional to arrange timely mediation as necessary.
Litigation and Court Proceedings
If a dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, we are experienced to protect our clients’ best interest through court proceedings.
Litigation involves formally asking a court or tribunal to determine the outcome of the dispute. Court proceedings may involve several stages, including:
- preparing and filing court documents
- investigating and discovering necessary information
- exchanging evidence and disclosure
- attending procedure hearings and make interlocutory or urgent application
- participating in mediation or settlement conferences
- presenting the case at a final hearing
Litigation is generally not a purpose but a legal end to resolving disputes. Even after litigation has commenced, parties may continue negotiating and may reach settlement at any stage of the proceedings.
Our lawyers provide representation in courts and tribunals across Australia.
