When a dispute threatens your business, your money or your position, you need clear advice and decisive action. We act for clients in commercial, equity, insolvency and estate disputes, and we pursue the result that suits you, not just the legal one. The best outcome is not always found in Court, and the best legal outcome is not always the best commercial one. We act from our offices in Newcastle for clients across NSW.
We will not automatically push you towards resolving in Court. We will tell you where you stand, move quickly to protect your position, and move towards resolution of your matter by the fastest available option.
Why clients choose Mullane Lindsay
Our litigation team is led by Director Kristy Nunn and Special Counsel David Collins. We have demonstrated litigation and dispute resolution experience. We give clear, unbiased and objective advice so you stay in control. Backed by the firm since 1976, we are equally at home resolving a dispute by negotiations, or running it to hearing in a Court.
Do you have to go to Court?
In most cases, no. We aim to resolve disputes prior to the commencement of Court proceedings. However, if Court proceedings are necessary, we work towards a resolution prior to a final hearing, through negotiation or mediation. Where the other side will not engage, or your rights need to be enforced, we have the capacity and the experience to take the matter to final hearing in Court.
