Practice

Disputes in court,
and documents that prevent them.

Most of our work is litigation: we draft the papers and argue the case. We also prepare the agreements and wills that keep people out of court in the first place. Below is the kind of work we take on, in plain words.

01

Civil and commercial disputes

When money is owed, a deal goes wrong or someone has been dishonest, we take the matter from the first letter of demand through to trial and, where needed, appeal.

  • Civil fraud and recovery of money
  • Moneylending claims and defences
  • Contract, debt and consent judgments
  • Construction and renovation disputes
  • Insurance claims
  • Personal injury and negligence
  • Enforcement of judgments
  • Appeals
02

Defamation and harassment

Whether you have been defamed or are accused of defaming someone, we move quickly: preserving evidence, sending or answering the letter of demand, and taking the claim to court if it comes to that.

  • Social media, online reviews and messaging groups
  • Letters of demand and apologies
  • Injunctions to take content down
  • Harassment and bullying
  • Contempt proceedings
03

Employment

We act for employees and employers in disputes about dismissal, unpaid wages and conduct at work.

  • Industrial Court representations
  • Labour Court claims
  • Dismissal and constructive dismissal
  • Workplace harassment and bullying
  • Employer and employee disputes
04

Divorce and family

Family matters are personal. We keep you informed at every step and aim for an outcome you can live with, by agreement where possible and in court where necessary.

  • Joint and contested divorce
  • Custody, care and access
  • Maintenance
  • Division of matrimonial assets
05

Property and tenancy

For landlords, tenants, owners and residents: from unpaid rent to neighbours whose renovation has become your problem.

  • Tenancy disputes and unpaid rent
  • Recovery of possession and writs of possession
  • Strata, management body and nuisance disputes
  • Land disputes
  • Property transfers, discharges and stamping
06

Company, insolvency and intellectual property

We advise shareholders, directors and business owners when relationships break down or a debtor cannot pay, and help businesses protect their brand.

  • Minority oppression claims
  • Winding up and liquidation
  • Bankruptcy
  • Trade mark registration and objections
  • Trade mark infringement
07

Wills, probate and estates

A clear will saves your family time, cost and argument. When someone has passed away, we handle the application to court and the transfer of their assets.

  • Will drafting
  • Grants of probate
  • Letters of administration
  • Transfer of estate assets
08

Contracts and documents

Good drafting is cheaper than litigation. We prepare and review the documents that set out who owes what, so there is less to argue about later.

  • Tenancy and lease agreements
  • Partnership and shareholder agreements
  • Commercial and collaboration agreements
  • Settlement agreements
  • Letters of demand
