Litigation

We are results driven and understand that when you contact us your only concern is having your dispute resolved favourably and efficiently so that there is as little impact on your affairs as possible.

Debt recovery is a cornerstone of our practice. We are repeatedly retained to recover client’s debts and to also review our client’s debt management processes.

Litigation is a complex area of practice and prompt, accurate assessment of legal claims and defences is a hallmark of our practice. We are skilled negotiators and employ a variety of strategies to resolve a dispute to avoid the need to go to court. We work hard to negotiate favourable out-of-court settlements to minimize risk and costs to you, but are always determined and prepared to litigate your case to protect your rights.

Our offices are situated adjacent to Ramsay Clout, Corporate Insolvency and Bankruptcy Trustees and the Noosa Barristers chambers known as Inns of Court Noosa. Our close proximity to Noosa Barristers means that we are typically in daily contact with Barristers who specialise in civil and commercial litigation which enables us to be efficient and cost effective when advancing a complex court litigated matter.

The Noosa Professional Centre is also the legal hub of Noosa and the closest commercial building to the Noosa courts. We regularly represent other law firms on town agency matters in the Noosa courts.
