Navigate commercial litigation

with confidence

We partner with you to guide you through the complexities of commercial litigation with clear communication and a supportive approach. We ensure you're fully informed and confident, working collaboratively towards the desired outcome.

Commercial Litigation Services for Every Business

Commercial litigation shouldn’t feel like rocket science. At Agnew Litigation & HR, we provide litigation services for Australian employers, HR teams, and executive employees that are sharp, results-driven, and accessible. These services include advising and representing companies in disputes, shareholder issues, class actions, and more. 

We develop close relationships with our clients so that trust and transparency are at the forefront of everything we do. We don’t just want to represent you or your business, we want you to understand your rights and responsibilities, so you can be best prepared to strengthen your position for the long-term.

Commercial litigation is something that a lot of businesses need to be prepared for, regardless of their size or what industry they operate in. Disputes – whether it’s from shareholders, contracts, suppliers, or somewhere else – can be destabilising for companies who don’t have an experienced lawyer representing or advising them. 

By choosing Agnew Litigation & HR, you are choosing a team of lawyers who have a successful track record across a range of commercial litigation cases. We value communication, a strong work ethic, and making sure our clients get the results they are looking for.

Fixed Fee Services or Hourly Rate Options

Choosing between a fixed fee service or an hourly rate? We're all about flexibility and ensuring our payment models align perfectly with your needs. Let us tailor our approach to suit you best.

Fixed Fees for Commercial Litigation Services

With a fixed fee arrangement, we set out the steps we expect will be necessary to achieve an early settlement with the other party or, where that cannot be achieved, through to trial.

We then provide you the fixed fee for each of those steps and what is included in that fixed fee price.

If we are required to take a step which is not contemplated by the fixed fees, then we tell you so and give you a fixed fee for the work necessary to complete that step (much like a builder who issues a variation).

This allows you to allocate funds for the necessary steps in your matter and allocates risk to us if we have underestimated the time it will take to accomplish each step.

Hourly Fees for Commercial Litigation Services

Don’t want a fixed fee?

We offer low hourly rates for all litigious matters. We provide you with a list of the steps we believe will be necessary to achieve early settlement or to take your matter through to a trial and a range of the costs you can expect to incur.
