Whitmans Lawyers, Queensland

Commercial litigation

We act for businesses and individuals in commercial and civil disputes, in negotiation, in alternative dispute resolution, and in the Queensland and Federal Courts.

A partner runs your matter. You get a costs estimate before each stage starts, and you hear from us when it changes.

A dispute can cost you more than your own legal fees. We would rather you knew that at the start than found out partway through.

How we work

How we work →

Four commitments.

You get a range before you get a bill.

A written estimate for each stage, before that stage starts. When an estimate changes, we tell you.

A partner runs your matter.

Not a partner who supervises it. The person you meet does the work.

You’ll know what happens next.

The next step, who is doing it, and when it is due.

We’ll tell you the costs upfront.

We can’t tell you whether a dispute is worth pursuing, that is your commercial call. We can make sure you never make it without knowing the cost.

What it costs

We price in stages and quote each stage before it starts. Where work has a definable scope, an advice, a response, a demand, we quote a fixed fee.

We do not bill for work we have not scoped with you first.
