Dispute Resolution

Where there’s a legal dispute, you need a lawyer you can trust. 

Our people are skilled communicators, who can take the heat out of a tense situation. We’ll help you sort out the facts, consider all your options and find the best path forward for you.  

We are experienced negotiators, skilled at finding fair solutions, while minimising drama, stress and costs. If your dispute can’t be resolved, we can be your advocate at mediation, or represent you in the Family, District or High Courts. 

If you’re facing legal proceedings or you’re concerned things could be heading down that path, get in touch with Insight Legal straight away. 

We can help you resolve disputes across all our practice areas, including:

Relationship property

Relationship breakups and disputes over property sharing.

Commercial disputes

Breach of contract, supply chain issues, insurance, financial disputes, debt collection and general commercial issues.

Property

Disputes over property sales and commercial leases.

Estate law

Disputes over wills, trusts and estate property.

It’s no secret that legal proceedings can be costly and stressful. While we can’t promise any quick fixes to your legal issue, we are here to listen and support you, so that together, we can find the best path forward. 

The sooner you have a trusted legal adviser on your side, the sooner we can get it sorted out (and the better you’ll sleep at night).
