Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution
We understand the practical implications of a dispute to businesses, and our clients' desire to be provided with commercial and effective advice and strategies to resolve the dispute in a quick and cost-effective way and, where possible, without the need for protracted litigation.
The Addisons' Commercial Litigation & Dispute Resolution team delivers the full range of litigation and dispute resolution services across a range of legal disciplines. We have extensive experience in State courts as well as the Federal Court and High Court and specialist tribunals. Our aim is to provide clients with the best outcome, whether it be a negotiated or litigated outcome.
Throughout the conduct of any litigation or dispute resolution, we constantly offer clients:
- technical expertise in the subject matter of their litigation as well as in the litigation process itself
- realistic on going assessment of prospects
- ongoing case management to ensure cost effective outcomes
- pro-active settlement and dispute resolution options
- commitment to delivering results which are legally sound and commercially appropriate.
Our practitioners have a wealth of experience gained from working at large commercial law firms, running complex litigation, arbitrations and mediations. We combine this experience with a personal approach which is always important at what is a very stressful time. We understand the importance to clients of direct partner contact from the commencement of a dispute, large or small, through to its determination. We offer direct partner contact throughout, with the support of a dedicated litigation team and a willingness and ability to provide an effective avenue for resolution of any dispute.
Our lawyers also include qualified mediators who are trained in alternative dispute resolution processes.
