Commercial Dispute Resolution

The essence of commercial dispute resolution is ensuring that disputes are resolved as cost-effectively and as quickly as possible, ensuring the minimum level of interruption of business operation.

Commercial litigation can be extremely time consuming and often results in significant losses of operational management time.
The dispute resolution team at Swinburne Maddison will discuss with you at the very outset of any dispute your ultimate objectives and expectations and, by considering the commercial circumstances, advise you on the most appropriate course of action and the options available, which may include settlement, alternative dispute resolution procedures or proceeding to trial. We look to assist you in considering all of the relevant factors, which may include ongoing business relations, the type of dispute and all other surrounding commercial issues.

The manner in which disputes are resolved by the Court has changed dramatically over recent time, with much greater emphasis being placed upon pre-trial negotiation and mediation. With lawyers skilled in this particular area of practice, the team can deliver an effective proactive service achieving the most cost-effective result available to your organisation.

By continuously discussing with you the merits of the claim and issues in dispute as the matter progresses we will constantly look to assess your position ensuring that the most successful result possible is achieved by advising you of the various options available and exploiting the relevant strengths of your claim or defence.
