Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Since the merger of Bywaters Timms with Rouse Lawyers on 1 December 2015 we have lawyers who specialise in litigation. View more about Rouse Lawyers here. 

Our substantial success in past litigated claims has enabled us to provide competent and cost effective advice on how you are to best move your litigated claim forward in areas including:

• Commercial contract disputes
• Franchising disputes
• Debt recovery
• Intellectual Property disputes
• Competition and Consumer Law or Trade Practices actions

Whilst litigation is sometimes unavoidable to best protect your interests, at Bywaters Timms we are, always, mindful of cost versus result. If there is an alternative to litigation we will find and recommend it, and through mediation, settlement conference or negotiation we will strive toward a commercially responsible outcome, as quickly as possible.

Janice Bywaters is a qualified mediator and has attended many successful mediations on behalf of clients.
