Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Commins Hendriks has a highly experienced Litigation team with John Potter and Rob Stone as the senior practitioners. John and Rob are Accredited Specialists in Personal Injury and Mediation and Rob is also an Accredited Specialist in Criminal Law.

Our Litigation team has extensive expertise and experience.

We recognise that conflicts can arise in professional and business relationships, requiring clear and cost effective resolutions, whilst protecting your legal rights.

Our Litigation team adopts a balanced approach to each particular case to achieve effective outcomes that are commercially viable. We recognise that court action should only be taken after careful consideration has been given to all of the relevant circumstances of each particular case.

We offer expert advice and legal representation in many areas including:

  • Contested Wills
  • Commercial litigation (including debt recovery)
  • Contractual disputes
  • Criminal matters
  • Insurance
  • Insolvency
  • Intellectual property
  • Planning and environment
  • Employment disputes (unfair dismissal, EEO, harassment, discrimination)

At Commins Hendriks, we recognise that some matters are unsuitable for litigation. In these instances we can advise you on alternative dispute resolution options.

Two of our most experienced and senior partners, Rob Stone and John Potter, are both accredited mediation specialists.

We recognise ADR to be a growth area of the law and are committed to being of service to our clients to facilitate cost effective legal and commercial resolutions.

We are able to assist our clients with:

  • Mediation (including farm debt mediation)
  • Arbitration
