Contract advice, interpretation and disputes

While business relationships and engagements often begin on good terms, disputes can arise that threaten their stability. For example, disagreements over non-compete clauses in employment contracts can escalate, potentially jeopardising both the business and the employee’s career. Our Sydney contract lawyers provide practical, timely advice to help you understand your position and explore your options. Beyond issues like non-compete clauses, our team can assist with a wide range of contract disputes. We can work discreetly behind the scenes, drafting your responses and strategies so the other party remains unaware that you’re receiving legal assistance. Should the issue require escalation, we are skilled in alternative dispute resolution methods, including informal settlement negotiations, mediations, conciliations, and arbitration. These forums allow us to achieve effective outcomes without the significant expense and time investment associated with litigation, which is often unnecessary for most contract disputes. While we prioritise resolving disputes outside of court, our team is equally experienced in managing litigation in the NCAT, Local Court, District Court, and Supreme Court when needed. With Kells Sydney, you can rely on expert support at every stage of the process.
