Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Litigation and Dispute Resolution Services

When disputes arise, you need legal representation that is strategic, experienced, and focused on achieving the best possible outcome efficiently. We provide honest advice about your prospects so you can make informed decisions rather than emotional ones.

Commercial litigation: contract disputes, debt recovery, misleading conduct, and fiduciary duty claims.

Magistrates, District and Supreme Court: representation across all levels of the WA court hierarchy.

Federal Court proceedings: federal jurisdiction matters including corporations law and Fair Work matters.

Mediation and ADR: strategic representation in mediation and alternative dispute resolution processes.

Property and construction disputes: building defects, payment disputes, and contested transactions.

Debt recovery: creditor representation from initial demand through to judgment and enforcement.

Strategy From the Very First Conversation

The right strategy at the start can determine the outcome of a dispute. We provide honest, commercially grounded advice on your position and your options from the first conversation, so you understand what you are likely to achieve and what it will cost to get there.

Mediation Before Litigation Where Possible

Many disputes can be resolved more quickly and cost-effectively through skilled negotiation or mediation than through litigation. We bring the same strategic preparation and focus to the negotiating table as we would to a courtroom, pursuing the best outcome by the most efficient route.
