What is Litigation & Dispute Resolution Law?

Litigation and dispute resolution law can be complicated and there are different laws as well as courts and tribunal processes in the different States and Territories across Australia. Litigation is usually called ‘civil litigation’ or ‘commercial litigation’ to distinguish it from criminal matters. Alternative dispute resolution refers to resolving disputes using methods other than by going to court, such as mediation and arbitration.

Why mediation or arbitration?

Your litigation lawyer will be able to determine whether you need to go to court, or whether mediation or arbitration is appropriate in your circumstances.

A lawyer trained in mediation can work with you and the other person to reach an agreement often more flexibly, with more creative solutions and with much lower costs than going to court.

The mediation lawyer or mediator acts as a neutral facilitator and can help you resolve business disputes and family disputes. However, unlike a court decision, a decision or arrangement reached in mediation must be documented in a settlement agreement and signed by the parties for it to be binding.

An arbitration lawyer or independent arbitrator can also help you settle your dispute without having to go to court (which can be very expensive). Arbitration is less formal than court, but the arbitrator will hear both sides and then make a final decision that is binding on both parties. A litigation lawyer will help you properly prepare for arbitration so that you can present your best possible position.
