Our Services

We specialise in the areas below. While we prefer certain areas of legal work, to provide solutions we may consider many areas of law. The solutions are not always to be found in obvious places.

Our Preferences


Over the 50 years since we first opened our doors in 1980, we have been involved in most areas of the law. At present we prefer to narrowed our focus to the areas areas below.Having said that, it is important to appreciate that legal issues overlap. For example we will accept briefs for contested divorces where the disputes concern disputes regarding corporate, investment, property and other aspects.

We have a particular interest in construction, engineering, software, manufacturing, and general supply chain structures, contracts, and disputes.

CONSTRUCTION LAW AND litigation in TECHNICAL disputes


The complexities of technical litigation are often not fully understood by general lawyers.

Whether you win or lose often depends on whether your attorney understands the technical aspects of your business and your case.

We have a background in technical engineers matters. 


CONTRACT LAW

Drafting of contracts.

Contract law is a complex and nuanced area that cannot be addressed by simply copying and pasting templates found online.

When drafting a contract, it’s essential to keep in mind its primary purpose: providing a strong foundation for legal action if things go wrong. Many assume that contract drafting is a straightforward, logical process, but the reality is more intricate. When it’s time to enforce your rights in court, many contracts—especially those not carefully crafted with enforceability in mind—are full of legal loopholes. To avoid this, it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of both the applicable laws and the litigation process.

It’s important to note that nearly 50% of contract-related cases are lost, sometimes due to factors that may seem unfair.  

If you want the protection of the law you must use the system or bear the consequences.

Contract and negotiation Risk Assessment

You cannot protect yourself against all risks. Which risks are important?

Apart from the obvious financial risks the next biggest risk is that lose a court case! 

  • Due diligence when buying

  • Credit and debtor exposure
