Protecting Your Commercial Interests.
Strategic dispute resolution focused on minimizing impact and maximizing outcomes. 95% of our matters resolve without going to trial.
Strategic Dispute Resolution
Disputes are a reality of business. How they are handled determines their impact on your bottom line. At Collins Quarters, we prioritize early resolution through mediation and negotiation because we understand that prolonged litigation destroys value.
However, when litigation is necessary, we are fierce advocates. Our disputes team has appeared in the Supreme Court of Victoria, Federal Court of Australia, and international arbitration tribunals. We have particular expertise in cross-border disputes where enforcement across jurisdictions adds complexity.
What sets us apart is our commercial approach. We don't pursue matters for the sake of winning legal arguments — we pursue outcomes that protect and enhance your commercial position.
