Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between dispute resolution and litigation?

Dispute resolution encompasses negotiation and mediation aimed at settling a dispute, while litigation involves formal court or tribunal proceedings to obtain a binding decision.

What types of disputes can Robbins Watson help with?

Our litigators handle a wide range of matters including commercial and contract disputes, property and leasing disputes, building and construction disputes, debt recovery and estate or trust conflicts.

How are disputes resolved without going to court?

Many disputes are settled through mediation or negotiation, where the parties reach an agreement with the assistance of lawyers or a neutral mediator, saving time and costs.

When should I commence court proceedings in Queensland?

You should seek legal advice promptly because strict limitation periods apply to most claims; commencing proceedings early helps preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What are the risks and costs of litigation?

Litigation can be time-consuming and expensive, and there is a risk you may have to pay the other party’s costs if you are unsuccessful, so careful cost–benefit analysis is essential.
