Hunt & Hunt has a wealth of experience in complex litigation.
A commercial discipline starts at the outset. We provide early, candid advice on prospects, cost exposure and enforcement realities, and we work with clients to develop a litigation strategy.
We understand that litigation rarely exists in isolation. Disputes often intersect with commercial objectives, regulatory scrutiny, governance obligations, insurance arrangements and reputational risk. Our litigators are acutely aware of this broader landscape and factor it into every strategic decision, ensuring that legal tactics align with commercial objectives and risk tolerance.
Hunt & Hunt acts for directors, shareholders, corporate entities, financial institutions, insurers, government bodies, local councils and private clients in complex commercial disputes across Australia. We manage matters ranging from urgent injunctions and recovery proceedings to multi-party litigation and disputes involving regulators. We appear regularly in State Supreme Courts and the Federal Court of Australia.
Our litigation practice is defined by judgment, realism and commercial focus. We aim to resolve disputes in a way that protects value, limits disruption and delivers desired outcomes.
Our litigation team advises and represents clients across a broad range of disputes, including:
We act in litigation, arbitration, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, and we regularly manage matters involving urgent interlocutory relief, freezing orders, injunctions and enforcement actions. Our lawyers frequently appear as advocates, reducing reliance on external counsel and maintaining direct control over strategy, cost and execution.
Insolvency disputes demand speed and commercial realism. We act for practitioners, creditors, directors and stakeholders in recoveries, voidable transactions, director claims and Corporations Act proceedings, with a focus on maximising recoveries and resolving matters efficiently.
