When it comes to litigation, our lawyers have run hundreds if not thousands of litigation matters, both as the lead partner and in collaboration with others. Having been ‘in the thick of’ litigation for over 15 years, we have developed a unique approach.
Far too many lawyers focus on the specific legal issue before them without being cognisant of the non legal issues that, as far as a customer is concerned, are substantial.
Entrenched in our litigation model is a process for early case assessment, strategic planning and budgeting. When assessing a customer's legal issue, our lawyers first put themselves in the customer’s shoes (shock horror!) and secondly, take a legal perspective. If litigation can be avoided, alternative methods are used. We know that unless you’re a particular Queensland mining magnate, you’re likely a reluctant litigant wanting to avoid a costly and stressful legal battle.
Our lawyers approach new matters at the very outset by asking themselves some key questions. Here are just five of them:
Our clients are afforded an early and active role in their matter which involves development of the strategic direction and assessing value and cost. We approach each matter in a way that reflects real priorities and improves our customers’ understanding of, and satisfaction with, a matter’s ultimate resolution. At the very outset, objectives and time frames are set with the clients input and expectations clear.

Our lawyers approach new matters at the very outset by asking themselves some key questions. Here are just five of them:
- Whats the clients ultimate objective?
- How does or will this dispute (or potential dispute) impact my clients' finances, customer relationships, contracts and future business prospects and if appropriate, brand?
- What are the ongoing ramifications for my client once this matter has concluded?
- What solution will provide the maximum value?
- Upon success, will the opponent be able to pay / does the cost outweigh the outcome?
