Commercial Litigation at Berwick Legal
Berwick's Leading Commercial Law Firm

Legal disputes are resource consuming distractions to any business. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide realistic and easy to understand advice even in the most complicated of disputes. We do not lose sight of the fact that litigation in most instances is very expensive.

At Berwick Legal we are highly experienced in commercial litigation matters. We have successfully dealt with disputes of all sizes. We manage litigation matters in the Magistrates’ Court, County Court, Supreme Court and Federal Court.

Our focus is to obtain the best possible outcome for our clients, whether that requires us to institute proceedings to advance legal claims on our clients' behalf, or to successfully defend our clients in proceedings instituted against them. Berwicklegal’s approach is to avoid litigation unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Our focus is on finding fast, effective solutions to disputes whilst achieving the best results for our clients for the least cost. Each client has special needs which we acknowledge and if litigation is the best means available to resolve the matter, then, this approach will be adopted. At all times we are working in our clients’ best interests whether acting for plaintiffs or defendants.

Whether the dispute arises from a debt, business structure, breach of commercial agreement, or is a property the needs are similar – focused lawyers who understand the issues and are attentive to clients’ needs.

Are there alternative options other than litigation?

  • Ombudsman – bodies within various commercial realms that seek to assist with issues against various government departments or statutory bodies.
