Committed to achieving results

Walsh Halligan Douglas is one of Queensland's leading practices in commercial litigation and dispute resolution. Our capacity to handle large and complex commercial disputes is matched by our reputation for achieving successful results.

Our team has proven experience in litigation before Australian Federal and State Courts and specialist tribunals, in arbitration and in investigations by regulatory authorities.

We are experienced players in hard fought litigation. At the same time we understand the risks, costs and distraction from core business activities that litigation invariably brings. We apply lateral thinking to find strategic solutions which achieve the best commercial outcomes for our clients. Our experience puts us at the forefront of mediation and alternative dispute resolution in Queensland.

As a firm, we believe that mediation and negotiation have certain advantages over litigation because of the time factors, and also because:

• it reduces legal costs;
• the process is collaborative, not adversarial;
• it is strictly confidential; and
• it allows humane outcomes to be negotiated.

Our aim is to give clients a thorough and clear assessment of their position, the various options available, and a recommendation on how best to achieve a timely, pragmatic and cost effective solution.

Where litigation is the appropriate course, we pursue it rigorously, innovatively and efficiently. Our areas of expertise are:

• Alternative dispute resolution
• Building and construction
• Contractual disputes
• Corporations law
• Debt and business recovery
• Defamation
• Employment law
• Franchising
• Insolvency and bankruptcy
• Litigation
• Insurance fraud and recovery
• Intellectual property
• Investment schemes
• Trade practices
• Consumer Tribunal Defences / Prosecutions
