Land Dispute Lawyers

Professional land dispute lawyers — resolving complex property disputes with confidence

Disputes over land can quickly escalate into costly, stressful and time-consuming problems if not addressed properly. Whether it’s a boundary disagreement, an encroachment dispute, issues concerning unapproved building, operation or ground works, a conflict over easement rights or a dispute involving co-owners of a property, getting clear legal guidance early is essential.


At ADVIILAW, we have a team of experienced lawyers specialising in land disputes. We provide strategic advice and tailored solutions to help clients protect their property rights and achieve the best possible outcomes. Whether you're a property owner, developer, investor or neighbour involved in a dispute, our team is here to help.

The most common types of land disputes ADVIILAW assists with 

Land disputes can arise in many different contexts. Some of the most common land disputes our lawyers handle include:

  • Boundary Disputes

These occur when neighbours disagree over the legal boundaries of their properties. This often happens due to old fencing, overgrown trees and shrubs, encroaching unapproved building structures, land subsidence or erosion, inaccurate survey plans and disturbed or removed survey markers.

  • Easement and right of way disputes

An easement gives one party the right to use part of another's land for a specific purpose. Disputes can arise if easements are blocked, overused or instructions are unclear.

  • Adverse possession

Sometimes known as “squatters’ rights,” adverse possession claims involve one party seeking ownership of land they’ve occupied for a certain period. These claims require detailed legal analysis.

  • Encroachments

If a structure such as a fence, shed, retaining wall or other building structure crosses a property boundary, this may lead to an encroachment or a trespass to property dispute, which may require negotiation, removal or compensation.

  • Disputes between co-owners

When multiple people own land together, such as family members or business partners, conflicts can arise over how the land is used, developed or sold. These often require court intervention or negotiation to resolve.

  • Compulsory acquisition disputes

If your land is being acquired by the government or a third party for public use, you may dispute the process or seek compensation. This area of law requires experienced legal representation.

How a land dispute lawyer can help

Engaging a lawyer for land disputes is the best way to ensure your rights are protected, and your matter is resolved effectively. Here’s how our experienced land dispute lawyers can assist:

  • Legal advice and strategy — Our lawyers will provide a clear explanation of your rights and develop a strategy that aligns with your goals.
  • Property investigations — We review title documents, survey plans, council records, building approval documentation, and any relevant agreements to understand the legal position.
  • Negotiation and mediation — In many cases, disputes can be resolved without going to court. We can help negotiate a resolution or represent you at mediation.
  • Litigation — If court action is necessary, our team will represent you in the Magistrates Court, District Court or Supreme Court, depending on the nature of your dispute.

Ingrid Flemons

I highly recommend Zoran Gelic, for your legal representation. Zoran has been outstanding, the moment I engaged him to represent myself in a legal matter, regarding a retaining wall, constructed by a developer neighbouring my property. His knowledge on retaining walls is exemplary & he quickly identified the wrongs committed, involving the construction of the retaining wall. His confident demeanour, & approach to his role as my Lawyer, gave me the same confidence every time I was in communication with him. He is pedantic in his work & took time in producing quality communication with the other party, producing a settlement offer, from the other party, with his very first correspondence. He understands the emotional impact, legal matters involving property can create, but he quickly eases those emotions & reminds you of the facts involved in legislation & law. Thank you for your representation Zoran!

Natalie Dugec

Great service from Alice at ADVIILAW in completing my legal requirements and providing essential advice during the setup of my new business. Alice was easy to get along with and it felt like I was working with a real person who was genuinely invested in my business venture. This was a pleasant surprise, as I had fears that I would potentially run into another stereotypical lawyer that has the personality of a door handle and sees you as just another dollar figure on their accounts! Insightful and knowledgeable, Alice would without fail get back to my inquires within the day (usually within a couple of hours) which was essential to me as I was dealing with a variety of moving parts in the set up of the business that almost always required immediate attention. I would thoroughly recommend Alice and ADVIILAW partner Zoran to anyone that requires their service. If need be, I will definitely be using them again.
