Commercial law is becoming increasingly complicated (and so subject to frequent change), that retaining good commercial lawyers early in the piece, is a significant advantage to any business.

Sterling Legal® finds that the risk of commercial problems are diminished when good commercial lawyers are employed at the early stages, to document relationships, identify/avoid commercial related legal problems and ultimately finalise transactions.

In the Uncertain World of Business - Sterling Legal® has your Back!

Unique Approach

The lawyers at Sterling Legal® are masters of their craft (and those practitioners that are not, are working towards it).

From the simple to the complex, each case is first assessed on its merits by veteran practitioners. Once a solution tailored to your business needs is determined, advice is provided to you.

Upon formal instructions, the cohesive team is then selected, whether from within the firm or from Australia’s best chambers.

The team then exercises the strategies previously set in order to reach a commercial sound, timely and cost-effective resolution to the legal problem.

Throughout the process, they will communicate and work closely with you to understand your business and your commercial requirements, to the point that after time, you will consider them as an integral part of your internal team.

Litigation

Invariably, parties that are in trade and commerce of any sort of business eventually experience a dispute with another party.

Seeking good counsel and representation from good commercial litigation lawyers is essential and although the lawyers at Sterling Legal® seek to resolve disputes amicably in the first instance, litigation is sometimes unavoidable.

Litigation by nature is an expensive exercise and commercial litigation is no different. So, from the onset, Sterling Legal® will attempt to resolve the dispute in an amicable fashion.

The lawyers at Sterling Legal® are expert negotiators and will do all things necessary to not only keep costs down for you but to achieve a commercially sound resolution by alternative dispute resolution.

If settlement fails, the lawyers will fight tooth and nail for you.
