Commercial Law
We provide assistance to individuals, businesses and organisations in their commercial dealings, either with their transactions or when a dispute arises.
These disputes usually involve debt collection, disputes about whether contracts have been properly performed (for example, building disputes) or disputes about rights in relation to property.
Whether you need to document your business dealings, need advice on a course of action to take, are engaged in a commercial dispute or are likely to engage in litigation, or you simply wish to put your personal or business affairs in order, we will work collaboratively with you to make the right decisions for you and your business or your personal affairs.
What is a commercial dispute?
Some typical commercial disputes include:
- Contractual disputes (non-payment, breach of contract)
- Leasing issues (commercial/retail leases)
- Building and construction disagreements
- Disputes between businesses and government agencies
- Warranty or service-delivery issues
How can I resolve a commercial dispute?
With the help of your lawyer, you may resolve these matters by:
- Negotiation
- Private mediation
- Court mediation
What are potential outcomes?
Your matter may resolve by:
- Agreement through negotiation
- Agreement at Mediation
- Court imposed outcome such as a Trial
What is the likely cost?
Mediation is generally funded equally by the parties with each funding their own legal costs.
Parties fund their own Trial and if successful claim legal costs from the other party.
**It is difficult to estimate costs in all matters as each matter is assessed on its own merits and has different considerations.
