How Can We Assist

    Breaches of lease are complicated matters, in that if procedure is not followed to every minute detail, countersuits and further potential damages to the landlord can be made. This is also applicable to a tenant when clauses within the lease are breached by a landlord. We work with both landlord and tenant in these matters. Our wide experience working in these breaches of lease disputes allow us to provide a service to you that is tailormade to the service you require in your disputing case.


    The dividing fences act (1961) and local government by-laws contain guidelines to the erection and maintenance of dividing fences. These guidelines however are not always followed. When this occurs, you can dispute the fencing. These guidelines do not cover the height of fencing however, but the payment should only be divided for the required amount of fencing, not excess fencing if one party decides to have more. This also a common dispute that, if necessary, we can help resolve. When a person is not the legal owner of a piece of land and occupies it against the owners will for a period of 12 years or more, they are known to be adversely possessing that land and can apply to get the certificate of title to be in their name. To achieve this however, the person must satisfy certain characteristics which have to be proven in their case. We work to prove these characteristics are met if applying for adverse possession is desired or they are not met, in the case of a legal owner of the land.

    When enforcing a security, we help to draft all the documents you need. Producing a cost-effective innovative solution to resolve the dispute and to achieve the result that you desire. We assist you with drafting the documents you need to enforce the security, at a fixed pre-determined fee.

    Contractual disputes are disputes that can often be marred in grey areas. These disputes occur when a party determines that another party has been in breach of one of the terms of the contract that had been signed and agreed on. These can also occur through the differing interpretation of terms within a contract and can often be very difficult to resolve if a large dispute occurs. We work with our years of experience, in various business areas, to create a bespoke plan regarding the dispute resolution process for your dispute.
