Personal Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Make an online enquiry

We resolve disputes the smart way - without court action - wherever possible.

Each of our lawyers can draw upon the resources of the entire firm and sophisticated technology allows our people to provide action and responses quickly.

Insurance Disputes

Insurers routinely deny or attempt underpayment of claims even where the policy clearly covers the loss. That's their business and ours is to make them accountable.

If you have a large claim that has been denied which ought to have been paid, we will negotiate with your insurer and where necessary, hold them responsible with a lawsuit.

Our expertise includes disability or life policies, superannuation policies and car, home and theft claims.

Claims against deceased estates by potential beneficiary

Left out of a relative's will?

Queensland law allows family or dependants who suffer hardship because they have been overlooked or inadequately provided for in a will to bring a lawsuit for compensation.

Written notice must be given within 6 months and legal action commenced within 9 months of the date of death. To get started, collect relevant information as best you can including a list of estate assets, a list of surviving dependants and particulars of your relationship with the deceased.

Shareholder & Investor claims against corporations and directors

Companies and their directors have duties to fully disclose all share-price sensitive and company-value information to shareholders.

They are prohibited from doing anything to manipulate share values.

Recent Australian corporate history has shown that many corporations ignore these rules.

If you have suffered an investment or stock market loss in these circumstances, call us for advice.

Consumer Disputes

The Trade Practices Act and Fair Trading Act provide protection in many consumer transactions: retail, housing construction, and travel to mention a few.

If you have a substantial dispute it will pay to invest in a sound legal strategy and an expert law team. Early advice is the key to a successful outcome.
