Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution

When faced with a commercial dispute, the role of your company’s legal advisor is critical in ensuring the dispute is resolved with as little impact on the business as possible. Your legal advisor must understand the dispute resolution process not only from the perspective of your company, but also from that of the courts, regulators and all other parties related to the dispute.

Traditionally, dispute resolution has been seen as a reactive process but today companies realise there are prevention and risk management strategies they can implement. For many, this has been the incorporation of dispute resolution procedures into their risk management strategy.

Hunt & Hunt has extensive negotiation, mediation, arbitration, alternative dispute resolution and trial experience. Our lawyers handle many kinds of litigation and arbitration matters, ranging from single-issue injunction cases to multi-million dollar disputes. We have handled cases and at every level of the court system, including the Australian High Court. This experience translates into our being able to provide our clients with reliable assessments of the likely outcome of litigation, and their prospects of success.

Our strong in-house advocacy skills distinguish our firm and minimise the need for briefing external counsel. Our objective is to assist our clients in avoiding disputes and costly court cases. Hunt & Hunt’s lawyers regularly appear as advocates in courts and tribunals.
