Civil Disputes & Commercial Litigation Lawyers Brisbane
What Is Civil Litigation?
When Can I Sue Someone?
If you feel that you’ve been wronged but it’s not a criminal matter to be dealt with by the Police, then it’s important that you speak to an experienced commercial litigation lawyer in Brisbane from our team to help you understand your position. You will quickly have the information and support you need to know if you are able to commence a lawsuit against someone. The kinds of commercial disputes that are dealt with under civil law include disputes between:
- Neighbours
- Customers and suppliers
- Business partners
- Landlords and tenants
- Buyers and sellers of property
- Homeowners and builders
- Employees and employers
- Executors or beneficiaries in deceased estates
- Owners of copyrights and patents
- Creditors and debtors
- Accident victims
Different kinds of legal cases have different time limitations imposed so it’s important that you seek legal advice from one of our leading commercial litigation lawyers in Brisbane quickly to find out if you can commence legal proceedings to achieve litigation dispute resolution.
How To File A Lawsuit - The Civil Litigation Process
Prior to court proceedings being commenced, the first course of action is always to seek a resolution to the dispute, saving both time and money. There are a number of alternative dispute resolution methods which can be used including roundtable negotiation, conflict mediation, conciliation, and arbitration. Dispute resolution lawyers can assist with this process.
If all attempts to settle the dispute fail then the dispute will be taken to trial. With Creagh Weightman Lawyers, you can trust that you have the best commercial litigation lawyer Brisbane offers. Our experienced litigation lawyers will work closely with you on your case and will guide you through the legal dispute process.
Trial proceedings are lengthy and somewhat complex, but involve the stages of commencing proceedings, pleadings (where the dispute is described by the plaintiff and defended by the defendant), discovery (disclosure of documents by both sides), trial (where the judge will hear the testimony of witnesses and make a ruling in the dispute), settlement and appeal.
The particular court forms that need to be completed to commence a civil suit vary according to the type of dispute and your State so it’s best to seek legal advice in regard to this. You will have the expertise of your commercial litigation lawyer. Our Brisbane CBD location means our litigation team are minutes from the court precinct for lodgements or representation when required, on your behalf.
