Expert Advice For Resolving Business Disputes

There are various options in the resolution of business disputes, namely mediation, negotiation, and arbitration, each following a unique methodology to achieve a successful resolution. A dispute resolution lawyer from Marino Law can assist in all kinds of commercial disputes, including but not limited to:

  • Contract disputes
  • Lease disputes
  • Employment disputes
  • Franchise disputes
  • Disputes between directors of a company
  • Shareholder disputes
  • Intellectual property disputes
  • Partnership disputes
  • Construction disputes
  • Insurance disputes
  • Accusations of negligence
  • Defamation and injurious falsehood
  • Debt recovery or insolvency issues
  • Corporate insolvency and insolvent trading
  • Trust disputes
  • Financial disagreements
  • Provision or acquisition of goods and services disagreement
  • Misleading and deceptive conduct and misrepresentation claims
  • Unfair contract terms
  • Unconscionable conduct and duress
  • Restraints of trade

During mediation, a mediator guides the conversation between the disputing parties, promoting mutual understanding and agreement. In contrast, negotiation involves the disputing parties working towards a resolution independently, without the involvement of an external entity. Arbitration, on the other hand, assigns a neutral third-party arbitrator to listen to both parties’ propositions before providing a final verdict on the matter in dispute.

Dispute resolution serves to promote collaborative environments, maintain healthy business relationships among the concerned parties, and offer cost-effective and efficient solutions compared to conventional legal proceedings.

It is always important to obtain legal advice before entering into litigation and dispute resolution. Contact Marino Law today to have an experienced dispute resolution lawyer talk you through your options.

Commercial Dispute Resolution Lawyer – Frequently Asked Questions

What Does A Dispute Resolution Lawyer Do?

At Marino Law, our expert dispute resolution lawyers meticulously consider every facet of a given dispute, proposing a variety of resolutions tailored to your unique circumstances. We focus on understanding your priorities and desired outcomes, guiding you towards the most beneficial resolution.

Our lawyers work diligently to identify and manage any potential litigation risks, prioritising efficient and cost-effective solutions wherever possible. They act as your staunch advocate, engaging with other parties on your behalf to strive for a resolution without resorting to a court trial. Our aim is to resolve your disputes promptly, ensuring your interests are secure.

Equipped with an extensive knowledge base and adept skills, Marino Law’s dispute resolution lawyers are here to effortlessly guide you through the informal resolution process. We offer unwavering support and practical advice every step of the way.

What If The Court Process Becomes Unavoidable?

Our commercial litigation team at Marino Law are well-versed with the diverse court requirements and procedures. They are on hand to assist clients to navigate through litigation while protecting their business interests.

Our lawyers have a deep understanding and extensive experience in dispute litigation. Often, our lawyers spot and evaluate potential opportunities for settlement while preparing a persuasive legal argument in the client’s favour. Contrary to common misconceptions, the role of our commercial litigation lawyers does not always have to come down to intense courtroom disputes.

At Marino Law, we will diligently handle all matters to meet critical deadlines. Our dispute resolution lawyers will ensure that you stay well-informed and in the driving seat throughout the entire journey, regardless of the path you choose.

What Happens If I Am Unsatisfied With The Outcome?

If the outcome of the business dispute is unfavourable, our lawyers will assess any potential strategies for appeal.

Is It Possible To Avoid Litigation?

The preferred pathway to resolution is always through mediation, negotiation and arbitration. However, if these non-litigious pathways are unsuccessful, litigation will be the final outcome for resolving commercial disputes.

What Is The Process For Business Dispute Resolution?

Early intervention by an experienced commercial litigation lawyer is critical to gain a strategic advantage and to preserve your position in business disputes. The process typically involves several key steps, each of which is carefully managed by your lawyer to protect your interests, including:

  1. Understanding the Dispute: It is important to fully understand the key issue that is causing the business dispute to begin with. Your lawyer will examine all relevant contractual obligations and ensure compliance with any prior agreements that specify dispute resolution methods.
  2. Communicating with the Other Party: Your lawyer will initiate calm and confident communication with the opposing party, making a concerted effort to resolve the dispute amicably.
  3. Drafting Correspondence: If an agreement is reached, your lawyer will formalise it in writing. If an agreement cannot be reached, they will outline the concerns in writing and allow time for a response before considering further actions.
  4. Engaging a Third Party: Your lawyer may recommend and facilitate alternative dispute resolution methods, where a neutral third party assists in finding an amicable solution.
  5. Pursuing Court or Tribunal Action: If necessary, your lawyer will advise on taking the dispute to court or a tribunal.

Our business dispute lawyers at Marino Law are able to provide personalised legal advice to assist clients at any point in the dispute resolution process.
