Disputes

Early identification + strong representation = winning strategy.

Overview

Disputes can be stressful, time-consuming and expensive. And frankly, we'd rather you didn't have any.

Much of our work for clients is focused on avoiding them, but that's not all we do.

As one of Australia's leading dispute practices, we are expert in complex commercial disputes, investigations and regulatory engagement. Our team includes pioneers in class action defence, litigation support technology and customer remediation. We can help you to identify and address your areas of risk or prepare you for a dispute and guide you through the process, be it courtroom, regulator engagement or alternative dispute resolution.

At every stage we aim to give you clear-eyed advice and strategy as well as realistic estimates, all based on the highest technical skills and a deep understanding of your risk appetite, the realities of litigation and alternative forms of dispute resolution.
