Your Trusted Litigation Lawyers

At Gear & Co, our team of litigation and insolvency lawyers handle all kinds of commercial disputes.  Our lawyers have acted in cases involving contract and corporate disputes, shareholder and partnership disputes, trust disputes, debt recovery, and trade practices disputes.  We have extensive experience representing clients across various industries, from small to large corporations.

We recommend engaging a lawyer as early as possible. Early advice from a lawyer can help guide your decision-making, affecting the trajectory and ultimate outcome of your case. In litigation, timing can often be critical to a successful result, and can assist to bring a dispute to an early and successful resolution. To encourage our clients to seek advice early, we do not charge to learn about whether we can help you.

The Court process results in an adjudicated outcome; a judgment or order.  However, there are a range of alternatives to an adjudicated outcome (alternative dispute resolution, or ADR), such as without prejudice negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or case appraisal. There are a range of advantages to engaging in the ADR. To take advantage of these processes while still achieving the best possible outcome, it often requires engaging lawyers who are equipped to represent you in that process, and who understand when you are best placed to engage in those processes.

Depending on your business and the nature of your dispute, corporate restructuring may also provide an opportunity to avoid the protracted cost and distraction associated with various litigation processes.

Gear & Co lawyers is a specialist law firm, practising in both litigation and insolvency. We understand that litigation is often the most important thing happening in your life. We take the time to understand your business and your desired outcomes, and are relentless in the pursuit of favourable outcomes for our clients. Because we are also experienced in insolvency law, our commercial litigation lawyers are able to offer a holistic service, beyond the process-driven litigation service offered by most lawyers.
