When Should You Hire a Civil or Commercial Litigation Lawyer in Brisbane?

If you’re being sued, involved in a dispute or pursuing a claim, it’s advisable to seek legal representation from a litigation lawyer.
Knowing when to engage a civil or commercial litigation lawyer in Brisbane is crucial for resolving disputes. Litigation experts can expedite the resolution process and ensure that your legal matters are handled with precision and expertise.

 

At Nyst Legal, our team of Brisbane civil lawyers specialises in:

  • Property disputes involving conflicts over real property or claims asserted on your property or land. Our team demonstrates significant expertise in various cases of property disputes, including successfully addressing caveats placed on our clients' land by their former business partners or solicitors.
  • Trust disputes involving trustees, beneficiaries and third parties.
    Trust litigation can be complex, often stemming from challenges related to trust management or asset allocation. Our civil litigation lawyers hold considerable expertise in managing intricate trust issues, including the removal of trustees.
  • Estate disputes and family provision applications.
    When you're disputing a will or dealing with intestacy laws outlined in the Succession Act, it's vital to engage a firm that understands succession law. This law lets the Supreme Court distribute a deceased person's estate fairly. This could mean giving a share of the estate to a spouse, child or dependent, even if they weren't mentioned in the will.
  • Debt recovery and defence from businesses and individuals.
    Our team of Brisbane civil lawyers can assist you in:
    • Sending a letter of demand
    • Issuing a creditor’s statutory demand or bankruptcy notice
    • Initiating legal proceedings
    • Enforcing money orders

Right of Publicity

At present, there is no statute law in Australia that provides a right of publicity. However, that doesn’t mean one can invariably use the likeness or image of another without permission or compensation.

Heroes and Villains

Some years ago I attended a breakfast at the Sheraton Hotel on the Gold Coast, at which the then highly-respected - and now much-maligned - Victoria Cross recipient, Ben Roberts-Smith, was the featured guest speaker. In his riveting address, Mr Roberts-Smith enthralled his audience with a detailed account of his service with the Australian Defence Force in Afghanistan, including the extraordinary events that saw him bestowed Australia’s highest award for valour and devotion to duty in the theatre of war. As anyone who has heard the war hero’s harrowing tale of combat and courage under fire could tell you, it’s a hell of a yarn. And boy, did he tell it well.
