Linstell Lawyers are your Civil & Commercial Litigation experts

Experienced in resolving disputes between private individuals and businesses

Civil Litigation and Commercial Litigation is the process for resolving disputes between private individuals or businesses.

Not all wrongdoing in society is dealt with by the police. Civil disputes concern matters that are not criminal matters. It may involve your rights which have been infringed or rights which you wish to seek to protect or claim redress for. Or you may have been joined as a defendant to a civil law suit where someone is suing you. Civil Law is a complex and simply vast ocean of law and the consequences can be very serious, either to you personally or your business.

For this reason, you should not settle for just any lawyer but seek out a highly experienced and professional litigation and dispute resolution lawyer.

Very few people want to be involved in court proceedings. They can be protracted, stressful, costly and the outcome is not always predictable.

Many people, however, can and do find themselves in situations where they have no choice but to seek the assistance of the courts to protect or defend their commercial or personal interests. In those cases, we will fight hard to protect your rights.

Some of the common types of civil and commercial proceedings which we have extensive experience with include:

Commercial disputes over contracts and leases
Customers and suppliers
Mortgage default claims
Business partner disputes
Buyers and sellers of property
Homeowners and builders
Claims in relation to deceased estates or to contest a will

Insolvency disputes
Insurance disputes
Owners of copyrights and patents
Debt collection
Corporate insolvency and bankruptcy
Family disputes (other than disputes involving marital or defacto partners property or custody matters)

We do not handle personal injury claims or matrimonial disputes.

At Linstell Lawyers, we pride ourselves in attempting to arrive at an amicable resolution to provide the most cost-effective and least stressful legal process.

In many cases it will not be in your best interests to resort to the court.

In many cases, settlement or even abandonment of a client’s claim may be the more practical and cost-effective approach depending upon the likelihood of the client’s success or prospects of subsequent recovery if successful.

Where clients find themselves in circumstances where litigation is unavoidable, we will fight hard for your rights.
