Herald Legal assists Sydney businesses and individuals with commercial and civil disputes in English and Chinese, including breach of contract, debt recovery, construction disputes and court proceedings. Our approach begins with the contract, correspondence, available evidence and a realistic assessment of cost and risk.
What should I do when a commercial contract dispute arises?
Preserve signed contracts, variations, invoices, payment records, emails and messages. Identify notice provisions, dispute-resolution clauses and potentially applicable limitation periods before taking action.
Must every business dispute go to court?
No. Depending on the contract and circumstances, options may include formal correspondence, negotiation and mediation, followed by court proceedings or a defence where required. Construction payment disputes can involve particular statutory procedures and strict time limits.
What affects the cost and strategy of litigation?
Important considerations include the strength of documentary evidence, potential recoverability, enforcement options, legal costs, the other party’s financial circumstances and sensible opportunities for settlement. Read about our business law services and Sydney legal services.
