Dispute Resolution & Advisory

Being in a dispute is stressful enough without wondering whether it’s worth pursuing. From the outset, we give you a clear, honest assessment of the merits of your matter and the realistic paths to resolving it — so you always know what to expect and why.

Case Strategy and Merit Assessment

Before committing time and cost to any dispute, we assess the strength of your position and set out your realistic options — including the likely cost and timeframe of each path. We won’t run up a bill on a matter that isn’t worth pursuing.

Mediation and Negotiation

Most disputes don’t need to end up in court. We represent clients in mediation and settlement negotiations, aiming to resolve matters efficiently and preserve relationships and reputations wherever possible.

Litigation

Where a matter can’t be resolved without court intervention, we represent clients in the Magistrates Court, District Court, and other Western Australian courts and tribunals as appropriate, providing strong, strategic representation.

Areas We Advise On

We act in disputes across a range of areas, including commercial disagreements, property and construction disputes, and estate and probate disputes, working closely with our other practice teams where a matter crosses over.

Our Approach

We give you cutting-edge advice on strategy from day one — not just once things escalate — so you can make an informed decision about how (and whether) to proceed.
