Commercial litigation and dispute resolution

Chambers Russell Lawyers acts in complex commercial disputes for individuals, directors, private enterprises and public companies across a broad range of industries. We combine strategic clarity with disciplined advocacy, guiding clients through high-stakes disputes with a focus on practical and commercial outcomes.

We understand that litigation is rarely a first resort. Our approach is to assess risk early, define the commercial objective and resolve disputes efficiently wherever possible. When negotiated outcomes are not achievable, we prosecute or defend proceedings with precision and tenacity across all courts and tribunals.

We have extensive experience at the intersection of disputes and the regulated or asset-intensive sectors in which they arise. We work closely with our adjacent practice areas – including construction and building defects, strata and community title, property, insolvency and debt recovery, deceased estate litigation, personal injury and class actions – allowing us to deploy deep subject-matter expertise within complex commercial conflicts.

We also regularly act in alternative dispute resolution processes including adjudication, arbitration, mediation and conciliation, recognising that many commercial outcomes are best achieved outside the courtroom.

Whether pursuing recovery, defending claims, protecting reputation or managing insolvency risk, our focus remains constant: clear advice, controlled strategy and strong representation aligned with our client’s commercial objectives.
