Dispute Resolution

Navigate Challenges, Achieve Positive Outcomes

Our highly skilled dispute resolution team is here to guide you through the complexities of business disputes, whether you are bringing a claim or defending one. We understand the significant pressures disputes can place on your organisation and prioritise achieving a fast and positive resolution.

Our team has extensive experience representing franchisors, franchisees, and businesses of all sizes and has advised on some of the leading franchise law cases. This diverse client base allows us to tailor our approach to your specific needs and industry.

Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Services:

  • Alternative Dispute Resolution: We explore efficient and cost-effective methods like mediation and arbitration to reach a swift agreement, whenever possible.
  • Injunctive Relief: We can secure court orders to prevent harmful actions from the opposing party.
  • Contract Disputes: We provide expert legal advice and representation in breach of contract claims.
  • Misrepresentation Claims: We advocate for your rights in situations where false or misleading information was presented.
  • Group Franchisee Actions: We represent groups of franchisees facing common legal challenges.
  • Intellectual Property Disputes: Our team will protect your franchisor’s trademarks and other intellectual property rights.
  • Director Duties, Insolvency & Shareholder Disputes: We provide expert guidance on these complex legal matters.

The real test of a great law firm is how they attend to the unexpected and ad hoc work. Because Franchising is all about people, the unexpected happens. Having the ability to pick up the phone to Hamilton Pratt, when required, and simply say “help” or “what are my options” is a massive benefit.
