Commercial Litigation & Corporate Advisory

QuietCounsel.

A deliberately small practice. Every matter run by a partner, every fee agreed before the first hour is worked.

Scroll

Most clients do not want litigation.

They want the problem to end. We begin by telling you what the likely outcome is and what it will cost to pursue it.

Sometimes that advice is to settle.

At a number we can defend — or to fix the contract that created the exposure in the first place.

What you will not get is an open-ended retainer.

Fees are agreed in writing before work starts, and litigation is priced in stages you approve.

Practice

Four things, done properly.

01

Commercial litigation

Contract disputes, debt recovery, shareholder conflict and injunctive relief. We prepare as though every matter will reach trial, which is usually why it does not.

02

Corporate & commercial

Shareholder agreements, acquisitions, joint ventures, and the contracts a growing business signs before anyone reads them properly.

03

Employment

Contracts and handbooks that hold, processes run correctly the first time, and representation at tribunal.

04

Property & construction

Commercial leases, building contracts, and the disputes that follow over variations, delay and retention.

Outcomes, stated plainly.
