Cost Effective Dispute Resolution<\/h3>\n
Our focus is on resolving disputes as efficiently and cost effectively as possible, without the need to go to court.<\/p>\n
This saves our clients money and time.<\/b><\/p>\n
There is always a balance to be struck between the outcome that can be achieved and the cost of litigation or resolution.<\/p>\n
By factoring in the commercial reality of a claim we can advise on the best course of action.<\/p>\n
Resolving a dispute before it becomes litigious is often the most cost effective outcome for a client.\u200b<\/p>\n

Calderbank Offer<\/h3>\n
(A Calderbank offer is the recognised practice of making a “without prejudice” offer<\/b> but reserving the right to refer to and rely on the offer in relation to costs applications. It derives its name from the English Court of Appeal decision in Calderbank v Calderbank.)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Offer Of Compromise<\/h3>\n
An offer of compromise is essentially a formal offer to settle a proceeding made in accordance with the relevant court rules<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Types of disputes<\/span><\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
Disputes come in all shapes and sizes; some times money is sought and other times an order to do or not do something is sought.<\/p>\n
The issues in disputes can range over multiple areas of law, requiring expertise in each respective discipline.<\/p>\n
We practice in a range of property, commercial, corporate, employment and industrial areas of law, which enhances our dispute resolution skills.<\/p>\n

In Australia we have both Commonwealth and state court systems that run parallel to each other. Some disputes can be commenced in either system (known as jurisdiction in legalese) and the choice of jurisdiction will depend on various factors including complexity of the issues in dispute and money value of the claim (also known as quantum). We will advise on the optimal jurisdiction for your claim based on a mix of factors.<\/p>\n

Professional Negligence<\/h3>\n
To bring a successful claim for professional negligence, you must establish that there was a duty of care owed to you by the\u00a0professional and that the professional\u00a0breached their duty of care, resulting in harm or damage to you. In some professions where the existence of a duty is not settled law, careful argument must be made and, in some instances, care is required in articulating the exact nature of the breach. In any event, such claims come in a multitude of forms and a \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 approach cannot be taken.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text module_id=”BreachContract” module_class=”jumpnav” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Breach of Contract<\/h3>\n
There are many ways in which a breach of contract may occur and it can be difficult to work out if a party to a contract is in\u00a0breach. Uncertainty can stem from poor drafting or construction of a contract. It is usually only the cases where the arguments on either side both have merit that end up in court, as the parties can not reach common ground. Our experienced lawyers will attempt to resolve your dispute in a very cost-effective manner.<\/p>\n

Corporate Insolvency and Bankruptcy<\/h3>\n
Disputes arise in this context where bankruptcy trustees or liquidators attempt to repatriate monies paid to creditors for goods and\/or services, claiming the same to be preferential or uncommercial payments to that creditor. Pace Lawyers has brought both such actions on behalf of liquidators and also defended such claims successfully for creditors, for over two decades. This is a complex and technical area of law where diligent advice is a must.<\/p>\n

Building and Construction Disputes<\/h3>\n
Building\u00a0or\u00a0construction disputes can have a massive impact on your life and that of your family. Be you a home owner, builder, developer, contractor or subcontractor, these disputes are always stressful and often extremely costly. Lingering or unresolved disputes\u00a0can delay the build and cause significant increases in budgeted costs. Timely and pragmatic advice is the key. Our property law team is well aware of the need to move decisively and effectively in these matters and has the skills and resources to do so.<\/p>\n

Director and Shareholder Disputes<\/h3>\n
Disputes may arise in the corporate landscape where directors are accused of breaching their duties of care, where shareholders claim to be oppressed by a majority and\/or shareholder agreements are said to be contravened. The available causes of action are vast as are the remedies, heightening the need for a skilled professional to navigate you through this area of law. We have had conduct of such matters for over two decades.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nCosts are a matter of great importance and something we discuss in our very first conversation with prospective clients.<\/pee>Usually, we can provide a fixed fee to write an initial letter to the other side (generally between $800.00 \u2013 $1,500.00 plus GST).<\/pee>In the event further negotiations are necessary, we generally charge based on the time we spend on the matter and should be able to give you estimates of cost for this in our first phone call.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nWhat happens after I engage a lawyer for a dispute?<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nThis depends on your matter, but typically a lawyer will draft a letter to the other party and attempt to resolve the matter informally by telephone, written correspondence and (if agreed) a meeting.<\/pee>We will be discussing these attempts to resolve the matter with you at every stage so you are informed of our actions and can direct us as necessary.<\/pee>In the event it is not possible to resolve your dispute informally, we will discuss the best method of dispute resolution for your matter with you.<\/pee>This could be through suing in Court or engaging in \u2018alternative\u2019 dispute resolution such as a mediation.<\/pee> If you are defending against a matter, we may also give you advice on how to best protect yourself while waiting for the other side to take the next step.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nWhat happens if my dispute goes to Court?<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nThe process of taking legal action in Court (known as litigation) is usually lengthy and has many steps before you get to a trial.<\/pee>Also, the Court will usually require that the parties try to resolve the matter (usually through a mediation) before a matter is listed for a trial even if previous attempts to resolve the matter informally have failed.<\/pee>This process can sometimes take years depending on the actions of the parties involved and the complexity of the matter.<\/pee> If the matter progresses to a trial, the judge will hear evidence and make appropriate orders. Even this is not sometimes the end of the matter as there may be appeals against these orders.<\/pee>Be warned, some Court processes (such as winding up applications) have very strict time limits to file documents and could result in a judgment being made against you at the first hearing. So it is always best to seek a lawyer\u2019s advice as early as possible.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nWhat will happen in my first phone call with a dispute resolution lawyer?<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nWe will generally ask you for details about your matter, who your dispute is against, and what you hope to achieve. Then one of our friendly lawyers will discuss what their initial thoughts are about how you should proceed.<\/pee>We will then ask you to send through all the documents you have on your matter (such as a contract and\/or email correspondences) and then provide you with our fees in writing so you can make an informed decision on whether to engage us.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n

In Australia we have both Commonwealth and state court systems that run parallel to each other. Some disputes can be commenced in either system (known as jurisdiction in legalese) and the choice of jurisdiction will depend on various factors including complexity of the issues in dispute and money value of the claim (also known as quantum). We will advise on the optimal jurisdiction for your claim based on a mix of factors.<\/p>\n

Professional Negligence<\/h3>\n
To bring a successful claim for professional negligence, you must establish that there was a duty of care owed to you by the\u00a0professional and that the professional\u00a0breached their duty of care, resulting in harm or damage to you. In some professions where the existence of a duty is not settled law, careful argument must be made and, in some instances, care is required in articulating the exact nature of the breach. In any event, such claims come in a multitude of forms and a \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 approach cannot be taken.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text module_id=”BreachContract” module_class=”jumpnav” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Breach of Contract<\/h3>\n
There are many ways in which a breach of contract may occur and it can be difficult to work out if a party to a contract is in\u00a0breach. Uncertainty can stem from poor drafting or construction of a contract. It is usually only the cases where the arguments on either side both have merit that end up in court, as the parties can not reach common ground. Our experienced lawyers will attempt to resolve your dispute in a very cost-effective manner.<\/p>\n

Corporate Insolvency and Bankruptcy<\/h3>\n
Disputes arise in this context where bankruptcy trustees or liquidators attempt to repatriate monies paid to creditors for goods and\/or services, claiming the same to be preferential or uncommercial payments to that creditor. Pace Lawyers has brought both such actions on behalf of liquidators and also defended such claims successfully for creditors, for over two decades. This is a complex and technical area of law where diligent advice is a must.<\/p>\n

Building and Construction Disputes<\/h3>\n
Building\u00a0or\u00a0construction disputes can have a massive impact on your life and that of your family. Be you a home owner, builder, developer, contractor or subcontractor, these disputes are always stressful and often extremely costly. Lingering or unresolved disputes\u00a0can delay the build and cause significant increases in budgeted costs. Timely and pragmatic advice is the key. Our property law team is well aware of the need to move decisively and effectively in these matters and has the skills and resources to do so.<\/p>\n

Director and Shareholder Disputes<\/h3>\n
Disputes may arise in the corporate landscape where directors are accused of breaching their duties of care, where shareholders claim to be oppressed by a majority and\/or shareholder agreements are said to be contravened. The available causes of action are vast as are the remedies, heightening the need for a skilled professional to navigate you through this area of law. We have had conduct of such matters for over two decades.<\/p>\n

- \n
- You need to know what you are entitled to.<\/li>\n

- You should also have an idea of how quickly a resolution can be reached.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nCosts are a matter of great importance and something we discuss in our very first conversation with prospective clients.<\/pee> Usually, we can provide a fixed fee to write an initial letter to the other side (generally between $800.00 \u2013 $1,500.00 plus GST).<\/pee> In the event further negotiations are necessary, we generally charge based on the time we spend on the matter and should be able to give you estimates of cost for this in our first phone call.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nWhat happens after I engage a lawyer for a dispute?<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nThis depends on your matter, but typically a lawyer will draft a letter to the other party and attempt to resolve the matter informally by telephone, written correspondence and (if agreed) a meeting.<\/pee> We will be discussing these attempts to resolve the matter with you at every stage so you are informed of our actions and can direct us as necessary.<\/pee> In the event it is not possible to resolve your dispute informally, we will discuss the best method of dispute resolution for your matter with you.<\/pee> This could be through suing in Court or engaging in \u2018alternative\u2019 dispute resolution such as a mediation.<\/pee> If you are defending against a matter, we may also give you advice on how to best protect yourself while waiting for the other side to take the next step.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nCan Pace Lawyers dispute resolution lawyers help me?<\/h3>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nWhat happens if my dispute goes to Court?<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nThe process of taking legal action in Court (known as litigation) is usually lengthy and has many steps before you get to a trial.<\/pee> Also, the Court will usually require that the parties try to resolve the matter (usually through a mediation) before a matter is listed for a trial even if previous attempts to resolve the matter informally have failed.<\/pee> This process can sometimes take years depending on the actions of the parties involved and the complexity of the matter.<\/pee> If the matter progresses to a trial, the judge will hear evidence and make appropriate orders. Even this is not sometimes the end of the matter as there may be appeals against these orders.<\/pee> Be warned, some Court processes (such as winding up applications) have very strict time limits to file documents and could result in a judgment being made against you at the first hearing. So it is always best to seek a lawyer\u2019s advice as early as possible.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\nWhat will happen in my first phone call with a dispute resolution lawyer?<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1<\/span> answer<\/div>\nWe will generally ask you for details about your matter, who your dispute is against, and what you hope to achieve. Then one of our friendly lawyers will discuss what their initial thoughts are about how you should proceed.<\/pee> We will then ask you to send through all the documents you have on your matter (such as a contract and\/or email correspondences) and then provide you with our fees in writing so you can make an informed decision on whether to engage us.<\/pee><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n
