DRM Legal provides expert
commercial dispute resolution
services for clients around Australia.
When a commercial dispute arises, having the right guidance at the right time can make all the difference. Dispute resolution advisory, when done right, is all about finding the smartest, most effective path to a workable solution, whether that is using negotiation, mediation, litigation or some other tool in the “dispute resolution toolbox”.
At DRM Legal, our dispute resolution and litigation advisory services focus on helping clients understand their legal position, while assessing the available strategies and navigating disputes with clear, commercial “outcome-driven” advice.
In dispute resolution and litigation advisory, we act robustly and confidentially for our client, advocating for their interests and working closely with them to manage risk and pursue the best possible resolution.
Services
Our experienced legal professional, Toby Boys, provides a full range of dispute resolution services, tailored to the individual needs of each client.
By working across both proactive and reactive sides of dispute management, DRM Legal ensures that clients receive advice on how to fight the battles that arise and how to build stronger frameworks to prevent them.
01
Acting for companies and individuals in commercial and regulatory disputes, from early-stage conflict management through to fully contested litigation.
02
Representing clients in litigation and arbitration proceedings where negotiation has not been successful or where court or arbitral intervention is required.
03
Advising on dispute resolution processes, contract drafting, and internal systems to reduce the likelihood of disputes arising in the first place.
04
Assisting in-house legal teams who are managing disputes, including those run by external law firms, offering a second layer of strategic oversight and practical advice.
Who This Is For
DRM Legal’s dispute resolution services are designed for:
- Businesses and organisations facing significant and complex disputes and looking for trusted guidance through unfamiliar territory.
- In-house legal teams who need additional dispute expertise, including particularly for complex matters where external lawyers may already be engaged.
- Commercial lawyers and advisers who require a trusted referral option for disputes where conflicts of interest may prevent them from acting or separate representation is required.
- Organisations that seek strategic advice on managing disputes without escalating them to litigation.
Clients working with DRM Legal benefit from an advisory style that blends legal expertise with a strong understanding of commercial drivers and personal pressures.
