Business & Commercial
Commercial litigators resolve business disputes in courts and arbitration.
They act in contract, partnership, shareholder and professional disputes, aiming for early resolution where possible.
Business disputes drain time and money. A clear strategy and early resolution protect the business.
Commercial disputes are heard in state Supreme Courts, often in specialist commercial lists, and in the Federal Court for corporations and consumer law claims. Arbitration is common in construction and international contracts.

Understand the next step
Describe the commercial agreement, disputed conduct, amount and desired result. Ask the firm to assess a proportionate path before assuming proceedings are the best first step.
Agree on review points for strategy and costs, including expert and barrister involvement.
Explain the transaction, amount involved, parties and desired result. Provide the current agreement and relevant entity or trust details.
Ask which risks need legal, accounting, tax or technical advice. Identify essential terms and those you are willing to negotiate.
Agree who negotiates, approves documents and tracks continuing obligations. Clarify whether post-completion advice is included.
Request a defined scope or staged budget with assumptions about document review and negotiation rounds. Personal guarantees, tax and related disputes may need separate work.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Highlight signing dates, finance conditions and demands. Raise an inability to meet debts immediately so appropriate advice can be identified before further commitments.
