Litigation

Disputes are an inevitable part of personal and commercial life, and how they are handled can significantly affect a client's finances, reputation, and peace of mind. Our litigation practice guides clients through this process with clarity, strategic judgment, and diligent representation at every stage.

We handle:

• Commercial and civil disputes - including breach of contract claims, debt recovery, and partnership and shareholder disputes.
• Environment and land disputes - including boundary disputes, trespass, unlawful eviction, and compulsory acquisition matters.
• Criminal litigation - representing clients through the various stages of criminal proceedings, from investigation to trial.
• Employment disputes - including unfair termination and wrongful dismissal, prosecuted before the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
• Constitutional, human rights and judicial review matters - including petitions on violation of fundamental rights and applications for judicial review.
• Tribunal representation - appearing on behalf of clients before various statutory tribunals.

Court proceedings can be costly and time-consuming, so we assess each matter carefully at the outset, advising clients honestly on its merits, likely costs, and possible outcomes, so they can make informed decisions. Where it serves our clients' interests, we also pursue out-of-court settlement through mediation and arbitration, offering a faster and less adversarial path to resolution.
