What's Your Business Dispute Situation?
Business disputes come in many forms, but these scenarios reflect many of the commercial litigation matters we help resolve:
Eg: "Our supplier delivered substandard materials and won't refund our money."
When Contracts Go Wrong
Contract disputes can cripple your business operations and cash flow. Whether someone hasn’t delivered what they promised, payment terms are being ignored, or contract terms are being interpreted differently, we help resolve these issues quickly and effectively.
We can help with:
- Breach of contract claims and defences
- Supply and service agreement disputes
- Construction and building contract conflicts
- Partnership and joint venture disagreements
- Franchise and licensing disputes
We assess the contract terms, gather evidence, and develop a strategy to resolve the dispute through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings – whatever gets you the best result fastest.
Eg: "A major client owes us $50,000 and has stopped returning our calls."
Getting Your Money Back
Unpaid invoices and outstanding debts can seriously damage your cash flow and business relationships. When customers or clients won’t pay what they owe, we take decisive action to recover your money while preserving business relationships where possible.
Common debt recovery situations:
- Unpaid invoices and overdue accounts
- Disputed payment claims and variations
- Breach of payment terms and agreements
- Security enforcement and guarantee claims
- Insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings
We start with formal demand letters and escalate through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, focusing on getting you paid quickly while minimising legal costs.
Eg: "We had to dismiss an employee, and now they're threatening unfair dismissal action."
Workplace Conflict Resolution
Employment disputes can be costly and disruptive, affecting your entire workforce and business operations. Whether you’re dealing with unfair dismissal claims, workplace harassment allegations, or breach of employment contracts, we provide strategic advice to protect your business.
We handle:
- Unfair dismissal and wrongful termination claims
- Workplace harassment and discrimination matters
- Breach of employment contract disputes
- Non-compete and restraint of trade enforcementDoes this one still apply?
- Industrial relations and Fair Work compliance
We work to resolve employment disputes efficiently, protecting your business reputation while ensuring compliance with workplace laws and minimising financial exposure.
Eg: "My business partner wants to sell, but I want to keep operating – we can't agree on anything."
Resolving Business Relationship Breakdowns
Partnership and shareholder disputes can destroy businesses if not handled properly. When business relationships break down, we help find practical solutions that protect your interests and allow your business to continue operating.
Common partnership issues:
- Shareholder disputes and oppression claims
- Partnership dissolution and asset division
- Director disputes and removal proceedings
- Breach of shareholder or partnership agreements
- Business valuation and buyout arrangements
We focus on finding commercial solutions that resolve conflicts fairly while minimising disruption to your business operations and protecting your investment.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we regularly handle interstate commercial disputes. NSW courts have jurisdiction over many commercial matters involving interstate parties, particularly where contracts specify NSW law applies. We work with interstate legal networks when necessary to protect your interests across Australia.
Prevention is always better than cure. Our business law team can review your contracts, terms of trade, and business practices to minimise dispute risks. Clear contracts, proper documentation, and proactive legal advice often prevent the disputes that end up in court.
Timeframes vary significantly depending on the complexity of your dispute and whether it settles out of court. Simple debt recovery matters might resolve in weeks, while complex commercial litigation can take 12-18 months or more. We’ll provide you with a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and dispute strategy.
We believe in transparent pricing with no surprises. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a clear cost estimate based on your specific dispute. Many matters can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, keeping costs manageable. We always explain all costs upfront, including potential court fees and adverse cost risks.
While informal discussions sometimes work, having legal representation early often leads to faster, better outcomes. We can handle initial negotiations on your behalf, often resolving disputes before they escalate to expensive court proceedings. Early legal advice can also prevent you from inadvertently damaging your legal position.
In commercial litigation, the losing party often pays a portion of the winner’s legal costs. We always explain cost risks upfront and can discuss litigation funding or insurance options where appropriate. Many disputes settle before court, avoiding adverse cost risks entirely.
Mediation involves a neutral third party helping both sides reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It’s faster, cheaper, and confidential compared to court proceedings. Court litigation involves a judge making a binding decision after hearing evidence from both sides. We’ll advise which approach is best for your specific situation.
