Commercial disputes
Define the position. Preserve options. Resolve what matters
A strong dispute strategy begins with the documents, evidence, timing and commercial objective — not with aggressive correspondence for its own sake.
Understand the dispute
We assess the relevant contract or legal relationship, key events, available evidence, potential loss and the outcome the client is seeking. This creates a basis for proportionate and commercially informed next steps.
Disputes may involve
Breach of contractLetters of demandMisleading or false statementsUnpaid invoicesSupplier disputesCustomer disputesShareholder disputesBusiness-owner disputesDistribution disputesCommercial lease disputes
Resolution and settlement
Depending on the matter, assistance may include strategy, correspondence, without-prejudice negotiation, settlement agreements, preparation for mediation or conciliation, and selected VCAT or court-related work where appropriate.
Delay may affect rights, evidence and limitation periods. If a deadline, hearing, notice or threatened action is involved, state the date clearly in the enquiry.
