Commercial Litigation FAQs
Which one do I need, a litigation or corporate lawyer?
You need a litigation lawyer if your goal is dispute resolution, whether that involves filing a Statement of Claim or pursuing alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Litigation lawyers manage the entire litigation process and handle all formal legal proceedings and civil disputes within the court system.
You need a corporate lawyer if you are dealing with non-contentious legal issues related to the structure, formation, and daily operations of a company, such as drafting a Lease Agreement, managing governance under the Corporations Act 2001, or providing Contract Reviews. Corporate lawyers typically focus on preventing future disputes rather than resolving current ones.
What is the difference between commercial law and litigation?
Commercial Law is a broad area covering the rules, contracts, and transactions that govern complex business activities, including corporate governance, mergers, finance, and asset protection, like Intellectual Property Disputes.
Litigation is the legal process of resolving disputes, usually in a court system like the Queensland Courts or the Federal Court of Australia. It is the adversarial method used when commercial laws are broken. Commercial litigation applies this process to resolve legal outcomes related to business and property disputes.
Do commercial litigators go to court?
Yes, commercial litigators absolutely go to court, but not for every case. While their primary role is to provide strong legal support and manage the litigation process, they are often successful in resolving disputes before they escalate to a full court case.
What is the difference between a lawyer and a litigation lawyer?
A lawyer is a general term for anyone licensed to practice law and provide legal advice. Their expertise covers areas like Family Law, Wills & Estates, including estate planning and discretionary trusts, migration advice, and corporate compliance.
A litigation lawyer is a lawyer who specifically practices dispute resolution. They manage formal legal proceedings and the legal process needed to resolve conflicts. They focus on business disputes and civil disputes. They are experts in understanding court rules, such as those governed by the Limitation of Actions Act 1974, and guiding a client through the court system with the end in mind.
What is commercial litigation, and how does it differ from other types of legal disputes?
Commercial litigation is the legal process used to resolve disputes arising from commercial or business relationships. It covers a range of business disputes, from simple contract breaches to highly complex business claims involving hundreds of millions of dollars.
It primarily differs from other legal disputes in the following ways:
-
Subject Matter: It focuses on financial and contractual relationships (Construction Dispute Resolution, Property and Leasing Disputes, Intellectual Property Disputes), rather than personal matters (Family Court of Australia) or public administrative issues.
-
Client Base: Clients are typically companies, directors, partnerships, and high-net-worth individuals, requiring a strong practical approach and focus on commercial viability over pure legal principle.
-
Complexity: These matters often involve analysing detailed financial documents, construction contracts, and complex legislation like the Corporations Act 2001, demanding high technical capability from the legal team.
