Guiding you through complex disputes with our top-tier litigation expertise, we focus on strategic, cost-effective solutions that align with your goals.

Overview

Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution lawyers form a top-tier commercial litigation practice, the largest in Australia. Our reputation for undertaking the most complex, significant and high-profile matters, and delivering excellent results for our clients, is second to none.

We have an outstanding client service philosophy providing:

  • Technical excellence from friendly, responsive lawyers
  • Focus on ADR to ensure where possible your legal issues are resolved without the need to resort to the cost and uncertainty of litigation
  • Strategic, head-office advice and a commitment to containing costs
The Clayton Utz team on our litigation matters is exceptional. They are clever, very well organised and highly responsive and work extremely well with in-house groups. They have great relationships with the barristers on matters and manage both work-flows and costs very well. They are also very honest and ethical litigators. (Legal 500 Asia Pacific, 2024)
Their interaction with our in-house legal team ensures that a commercial and practical approach is taken to all matters. The leadership has remained continuous and constant and while the team members below partner level have changed over time, the quality of the people involved has always been excellent. (Chambers Asia-Pacific, 2023)
