Stacks Champion

With a heritage dating back to 1894, Stacks Champion has been a steadfast legal presence in Parramatta, committed to serving Sydney’s Greater West community. Our approach to commercial litigation values mediation as a cost-effective way to resolve disputes, striving to avoid extended court battles where possible. When litigation is necessary, our team brings extensive experience to protect our clients’ interests. We have supported a diverse range of clients in commercial disputes, including a notable case where we defended a small roofing panel manufacturer against intellectual property infringement by a larger competitor, achieving a favourable outcome in the Federal Court. Our practice also encompasses building disputes, addressing issues such as negligent construction work and asbestos, as well as lease disagreements involving landlords and tenants. Beyond litigation, we advise small businesses on matters such as contract preparation, joint ventures, shareholder agreements, and succession planning, aiming to guide companies through challenges and towards sustainable outcomes. Employment law is another key area, where we represent employers and employees alike in disputes including unfair dismissal and contract issues across various sectors. In estate matters, we assist clients with complex estate planning needs, particularly where blended families and multiple business interests are involved. Our goal is to craft balanced plans that reduce the potential for future legal conflict. We also handle probate cases with competing interests and provide representation in family provision claims, advocating both for claimants and estates. Many such disputes are resolved successfully through mediation before reaching the courts, reflecting our commitment to practical and effective solutions.
