Company Dispute Lawyer

EXPERT COMPANY DISPUTE AND DEBT RESOLUTION LAWYERS, READY TO ASSIST

Company disputes can escalate quickly, whether between directors, shareholders or business partners. Left unresolved, they can cause serious financial and reputational damage, stall growth, drain resources and fracture even the strongest business relationships.

At ADVIILAW, our company dispute lawyers act swiftly and strategically to protect your interests. Every matter is handled personally by a senior partner, delivering sharp, tailored advice with zero handover to juniors. We offer clear pathways to resolution — whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation — backed by deep expertise in commercial law, property law and litigation.

FREQUENT COMPANY DISPUTES WE SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVE

Internal company conflicts come in many forms, but the impact is always serious. Our experienced company dispute lawyers are ready to tackle the toughest issues and guide your business towards a clear resolution.

DIRECTOR AND SHAREHOLDER DISAGREEMENTS

Tensions between directors and shareholders can arise over profit distribution, company direction or breaches of director duties. Deadlocks, allegations of oppressive conduct or fallouts between stakeholders can have serious legal and financial consequences if not addressed with precision.

BREACHES OF DIRECTOR DUTIES

Company directors are bound by strict legal duties, including acting in good faith, avoiding conflicts of interest and exercising care and diligence. Allegations of breaches — whether around misconduct, mismanagement or conflicts — can lead to litigation, penalties or personal liability. These claims can destabilise leadership and expose the business to major risk, particularly when clawback claims or allegations of voidable transactions come into play.

PARTNERSHIP BREAKDOWNS

Business partnerships can deteriorate due to financial disputes, unequal workloads or conflicting visions for the future. When communication breaks down, issues like profit sharing, asset division and ongoing obligations come to the forefront. These disputes can disrupt the entire operation and often require legal intervention to resolve ownership and operational questions.

CONTRACTUAL DISPUTES BETWEEN BUSINESSES

Companies often face disputes with suppliers, customers or service providers over contract terms, payments, performance failures or misuse of intellectual property. Breaches of contract, whether actual or alleged, can halt projects and trigger costly legal claims. Disagreements arising from a tender process or contract award can also escalate, requiring clear legal strategies to safeguard commercial interests.

UNPAID DEBTS AND COMMERCIAL RECOVERIES

Cash flow is always critical, and unpaid debts can quickly threaten business viability. Whether it’s unpaid invoices, disputed payment terms or persistent defaults by clients or partners, recovering debts is often fraught with legal complexities. These disputes can lead to litigation if not resolved through clear legal channels.

HOW A COMPANY DISPUTE LAWYER CAN ASSIST YOUR BUSINESS

Our company dispute lawyers combine sharp legal insight with commercial focus to resolve disputes quickly and effectively. We work closely with you to minimise disruption and secure strong, practical outcomes.

EARLY RISK ASSESSMENT AND STRATEGIC ADVICE

We start by conducting a detailed assessment of your dispute, identifying the risks, obligations and leverage points. This early-stage strategy work is critical to minimise disruption and protect your legal and commercial position. By providing clear, realistic advice on likely outcomes and costs, we put you in the strongest position to make informed decisions from the outset.

NEGOTIATION AND MEDIATION SUPPORT

Not every disagreement needs to end up in court. A company dispute lawyer can guide you through structured negotiation and mediation, aiming to reach a resolution that protects your interests while avoiding the costs of litigation. We handle all correspondence and negotiations with precision, safeguarding your rights and seeking outcomes that keep your business relationships intact where possible.

LITIGATION AND COURT REPRESENTATION

When disputes escalate, our company dispute lawyers are prepared to act decisively in court. We handle all aspects of litigation, from drafting claims and defences to appearing at hearings with barristers and managing procedural requirements. We ensure you get experienced representation at every stage of the legal process.

ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AND DEBT RECOVERY

A legal victory means little without enforcement. Our company dispute and debt resolution lawyers assist in recovering obligations and enforcing court orders through proven legal mechanisms, including garnishee orders, property seizures, bankruptcy and winding-up applications where necessary. We focus on delivering practical outcomes that translate legal success into real-world recovery.

LONG-TERM RISK MITIGATION AND BUSINESS PLANNING

Beyond the immediate dispute, we help you strengthen your business against future conflict. This includes reviewing and updating company constitutions, shareholder agreements, partnership deeds and commercial contracts to close loopholes and clarify obligations. Our goal is to reduce the risk of future disputes and keep your business operating securely.

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.
