Property Dispute Resolution

Clear thinking is needed when disputes arise 

A pro-active, problem solving mindset can help you navigate complex property issues and winkle out the best resolution from the situation, however difficult it may seem.

Drawing on a breadth of experience in handling a wide range of property matters, from residential tenant issues to commercial lease disputes, the team is always focused on finding an answer as painlessly as possible. Although, should diplomacy fail, we are not afraid to resolve cases through Court or Tribunal proceedings and work hard for a result in your favour.

Comprehensive support over the long term

Our aim is to help safeguard your assets, maintain the return on your investment and minimise your exposure. As a team of lawyers we offer support beyond dispute resolution, building rapport and providing intermittent but valuable advisory services.
