Disputes & Litigation
Civil disputes
Help with disagreements involving contracts, property or other civil matters. We assess the issues, explain your options and assist with correspondence, negotiation and dispute resolution.
01
How we can help
- Assessing a dispute: review the agreement, correspondence and events that led to the disagreement.
- Written responses and negotiation: help explain your position, respond to demands and explore possible resolutions.
- Planning next steps: discuss the practical options, documents and further work that may be needed if the dispute continues.

Specific matters we can assist with
Car accidents and vehicle damage
Assist with disputed accident responsibility, repair costs, insurer correspondence and demands from another driver. Bring photographs, repair quotes, witness details and insurance documents.
Transport accident injuries and TAC
Discuss injury claims after a transport accident, medical evidence, treatment and income support issues, and potential compensation pathways. TAC personal injury matters are separate from vehicle damage claims.
Workplace and other personal injuries
Review workplace injuries, slips, falls and other accident circumstances, including incident reports, medical records, loss information and possible claims or disputes.
Insurance disputes
Review policy terms, claim decisions, exclusions and requests for evidence when an insurer refuses, delays or disputes a claim.
Consumer, service and contract disputes
Assist with faulty goods, incomplete services, refunds, deposits and alleged breaches of agreements, using the contract and communications to clarify the dispute.
Building, property and neighbourhood disputes
Review disagreements about building work, defects, repair responsibilities, boundaries, fencing and shared property, and discuss negotiation or proceedings.
Settlement and formal responses
Prepare or respond to letters of demand, organise evidence, negotiate settlement terms and discuss the suitable court or tribunal if further action is needed.
Defamation and reputation disputes
Review the words published, where they appeared, who received them and the effect alleged. Discuss correspondence, responses and possible resolution of the dispute.
Commercial fraud and disputed representations
Examine statements, transaction records and losses in disputes involving alleged deception or misleading representations, and consider practical recovery steps.

Do I need to start a court case straight away?
Not every dispute begins with proceedings. We can discuss the available approaches, including correspondence and negotiation, after reviewing the circumstances.
Can you help respond to a letter of demand?
Yes. Send the full letter, the date it arrived and the background documents. Tell us about any response date so we can confirm whether we can assist in time.
Discuss your circumstances
