At Melbourne Law Studio, our team has extensive experience in business dispute law and can manage a variety of business-related disputes at both the litigation and dispute resolution stages. Below we outline some of the areas we can help with.

What Does Dispute Resolution Cover?

Business dispute resolution processes are aimed at resolving commercial conflicts out of court. It can cover a broad range of areas including, but not limited to:

  • Contract breaches
  • Director, partnership and shareholder disputes
  • Unfair dismissal and other employment issues
  • Commercial lease disputes
  • Intellectual property and trademark disputes
  • Franchise disputes
  • Debt recovery
  • Supply chain disputes
  • Issues over business sales and purchases

Having the appropriate contracts, agreements, policies and records in place can help resolve disputes faster. In some cases, however, unique circumstances warrant assistance from a dispute resolution lawyer to navigate a complex business, employment or contractual issue.

Benefits of Dispute Resolution

When the choice is between litigation and dispute resolution, the latter offers a less stressful, less costly and easier pathway to resolving an issue. As a neutral third-party with expertise in commercial law, a dispute resolution lawyer can offer advice, potential solutions and compromises while taking into account each party’s rights and obligations under relevant laws.

Mediation is also often required by the court before litigation can take place. For dispute resolution processes to successfully work, both parties must be open to potential compromises.

Formal Commercial Litigation

If the dispute cannot be resolved during a dispute resolution process, a business litigation lawyer can also advise you on and guide you through the commercial litigation process. This involves preparing a strategy to secure the best possible outcome in the court or tribunal best suited to the dispute at hand.

Going through a separation was one of the toughest experiences, but Melbourne Law Studio made it feel manageable. Even though it could get emotionally overwhelming, I could see a light at the end of the tunnel. Ines was patient, listened to all my concerns, and treated me with respect and kindness. She has a really easy demeanour about her and I felt like her and the team had my back every step of the way. I can’t thank MSL enough for their support.

After my separation, a friend suggested I reach out to Ines at MLS. From the start, she was not only professional but also genuinely supportive and open about the process, costs, and the likely outcomes. Her approach was in line with my goal of reaching a fair and amicable resolution. I’m really grateful for her kindness and attention to detail. Thank you‍

From the first call I felt like I was in the right hands with Melbourne Law Studio. They were friendly and made me feel heard. Ines and her team went above and beyond to make sure I understood all my options and helped develop a strategy to get the best result in what was a really messy parenting dispute. Their personal approach and genuine care made me feel like I was always welcome to call them and see what was happening or what was next, the waiting sometimes for the other side was hard so I’m truly grateful for that.
