There are many ways to resolve disputes, whether they are between family members, business partners or neighbours. We take a sensible, commercial, approach to all dispute resolution situations. We know that court proceedings can be very expensive, time-consuming and cause stress to all parties involved. This is why we will explore Alternative Dispute Resolution to solve a dispute prior to involving the courts. Alternative dispute resolution methods seek to resolve disputes without going to court and involve negotiation, mediation, facilitation, conciliation, and arbitration. The advantages of these alternatives are that they are less formal, more cost effective, consume less time than going to court and the results are more specific to your needs. However, if necessary we have the experience and knowledge to prosecute your case in the appropriate court or tribunal.

At Phillips & Wilkins, we assist clients with matters including purchasing or selling homes and/or commercial property, review and/or preparing building contracts, leasing, subdivision, finance arrangements, property transfers, transitioning into aged care facilities, etc..
