Commercial and Business Disputes
In business, common disputes include contract breaches, unfair competition, misrepresentations, and intellectual property infringements. Without the right advice and guidance, these disputes can prove costly. Our litigation lawyers weigh risk and potential outcomes to ensure you’re adequately prepared before proceeding. We also work in a timely manner to minimise the time spent away from your business.Leasing and Property Disputes
When disputes arise over terms, rent, or maintenance, it can lead to litigation. These disputes, typically between landlords and tenants, include property damage, lease interpretations, and eviction proceedings. With our in-depth knowledge of contractual obligations and complex property laws, our expert team can make sure your dispute is resolved effectively.
Wills and Estates Litigation
It’s common for wills and estates to be seen as contentious, especially when there’s a perceived lack of parity. In this case, litigation is likely. If not handled correctly, disputes over validity, interpretation, and beneficiary entitlements can prove lengthy and costly for all parties involved. At P&B Law, we always aim to resolve matters quickly and fairly so that you walk away satisfied with the outcome.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) is, as its name suggests, an alternative to resolving matters through courtroom litigation. The most common ADR methods include arbitration, conciliation, and mediation. Compared with traditional litigation, these procedures are often faster and less adversarial. If ADR is a route you’d like to take, our expert team can help you make informed decisions each step of the way.
