Logan & Partners provides legal services in Hobart, TAS. Listed practice areas include Partner & Family Visas, Business & Commercial Law and Litigation & Dispute Resolution.
They assess prospects, costs and risks, and choose the most efficient path to resolution.
Disputes are expensive and stressful. A clear strategy from the start controls cost and risk.
Civil disputes are heard in state local, district and supreme courts depending on value, and in federal courts for federal matters. Courts encourage alternative dispute resolution and have overarching duties to resolve disputes justly and quickly.
Understand the next step
Set out the agreement or relationship, disputed facts and outcome sought. A first assessment should distinguish legal options from the commercial or practical value of pursuing them.
Agree on stages and review points rather than treating a first demand as a commitment to full litigation.
Hobart, Glenorchy and Kingston are grouped for the Hobart & South search. For a transaction or dispute, distinguish between the place you live, the location of the asset and the venue named in any documents.
For litigation & dispute resolution, ask which parts of the work the firm handles itself and whether it has relevant TAS experience. Let the lawyer know if a property, employer, other party or existing proceeding is outside Hobart & South. Your home address alone does not determine the applicable process.
Prepare a chronology, agreement or policy, important communications and a calculation of any claimed amount. Distinguish firsthand facts from assumptions.
Discuss negotiation, a complaint scheme, mediation, a tribunal or court. Ask which options are available for this particular matter.
Agree on a first step and a point to reassess progress and cost. Before settling, understand what claims would be released and how obligations would be recorded.
Request stages for advice, correspondence, negotiations and proceedings. Discuss filing, expert and barrister costs and any potential liability for another party’s costs.
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.
Provide every demand, decision and court document with its date. Do not assume informal negotiations suspend a response or filing deadline.
Tasmania has a two-tier court system: the Magistrates Court and the Supreme Court, with no intermediate court. Guardianship, anti-discrimination and many review matters are heard by TASCAT. The Law Society of Tasmania issues practising certificates and the Legal Profession Board of Tasmania handles complaints.
Good to know
From months for small claims to years for complex matters.
Most matters start in the Magistrates Court. More serious cases go to the Supreme Court of Tasmania. Family law matters are heard by the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia.
Practising certificates in Tasmania are managed by the Law Society of Tasmania. You can check a solicitor's status on its public register or by contacting it directly.
