Frequently Asked Questions

What does a litigation lawyer do in Sydney?

A litigation lawyer in Sydney helps resolve disputes over contracts, business dealings, debts, or shareholder issues. They review your situation, explain your legal options, and represent you during negotiations, mediation, or in court if needed.

Not always, and when they do, most commercial disputes are resolved before a final hearing. We are skilled negotiators who will try to resolve your matter through settlement discussions or mediation to save you time and money. We only proceed to court or a final hearing when it is strategically necessary.

Litigation involves several stages. It generally includes:

  • Initial advice and pleadings to outline your position
  • Evidence preparation to strengthen your case
  • Mediation to explore settlement options
  • Trial proceedings (if the matter cannot be resolved earlier)

We guide you through each step to ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.

Timeframes vary depending on complexity, court schedules, and the parties involved. Simple matters may resolve in weeks; complex cases can take months or longer. We always strive for timely and cost-effective outcomes.

In many cases, the successful party can recover part of their legal costs. Our team provides clear guidance on cost recovery prospects before proceeding.

Costs depend on the nature and complexity of your dispute. We provide clear, upfront quotes and flexible fee arrangements to ensure transparency and affordability.

With over 17 years of experience, Leo Lawyers combines deep legal knowledge with practical strategy. We focus on early resolution where possible and powerful courtroom representation when necessary.
