Dispute Resolution & Litigation
Disputes happen, not everyone plays nice in the sandpit. You won’t get much say in this unfortunately, no matter whether you are doing the suing or being sued. You do however get to decide how to deal with it. This is the most important decision you will make for the entirety of the dispute.
When a dispute arises, there is a sense of foreboding, an initial reaction of “why is this happening to me”, your stress levels rise, and everyone thinks they are being the reasonable ones.
You need to take control of the dispute and make some key decisions, the first being choosing the right lawyer for you. You need someone who’s on your team and will work with you to cut through the haze of legal terminology to help you understand what’s really going on and what options are available to you.
Use our legal skill and expertise to your advantage and help you make the right decisions to minimise your risk, reduce your stress and take control of the situation.
One of the biggest mistakes we see clients make is they fail to identify there’s a problem (or multiple problems) and put off making key decisions, including engaging us early to get on top of the situation. They ignore the warning signs, fail to take steps to mitigate the problem or make it worse by making poor and uniformed decisions (or sometimes no decision at all).
When this happens, and it does happen… regularly, what may have been a reasonably simple dispute to resolve turns out to be bigger than Ben Hur (does this reference still play? Perhaps bigger than Rose not letting Jack on the door when they were floating the ocean!! There was room damnit!!). Don’t leave yourself floating in the ocean of risk without a door or life boat to ride it out in.

Disputes come in all shapes and forms.
Some are simple (think fighting with your siblings as to what to watch on Netflix). Others not so much, and there’s generally not a parent around to settle the dispute or make a decision.
When real world disputes occur, not everyone plays nice and most play to win. It can be an isolating, lonely experience with high stress levels and little light at the end of the tunnel.
Before you can make that decision, it is important to understand the three main stages of a dispute. This enables you to establish where in the dispute timeline you are and what decisions need to be made.
How you deal with the dispute is a choice, and it is generally the most important decision you will make for the entirety of the dispute.
