Professional Guidance for Business Dispute Resolution

Cavell Leitch regularly assists parties conducting business in New Zealand in resolving commercial disputes.

Trusted legal advice for commercial disputes

We have experience in acting for a range of parties, from listed companies, to SMEs, directors, shareholders and other individuals involved in business. Our litigators work closely with our specialist Business, Employment and Property teams from the early stages of a dispute to identify and manage risks.

Whilst we have considerable experience in conducting court proceedings for commercial disputes in the District Court, High Court and Courts of Appeal, our experience in alternative dispute resolution procedures (such as negotiation, mediation and arbitration) comes to the fore when resolving commercial disputes between parties who wish to avoid the courts.

Our areas of expertise include:

  • Contractual disputes

  • Restraints of trade and non-competition advice

  • Intellectual property

  • Shareholder disputes

  • Company law, including director’s duties

  • Partnership and joint venture disputes

  • Negligence claims

  • Fair Trading Act advice

  • Trusts and estates disputes

  • Relationship property disputes

  • Sports Law dispute resolution matters.
