How we can help

The litigation and disputes resolution team at SWS Lawyers has extensive experience across a wide range of commercial disputes and we act on behalf of clients from a range of industries, including manufacturing, tourism and mining, and for clients in the not-for-profit sector.

Strategic and
commercially driven.

The litigation and disputes resolution team at SWS Lawyers has extensive experience across a wide range of commercial disputes and we act on behalf of clients from a range of industries, including manufacturing, tourism and mining, and for clients in the not-for-profit sector.

Whilst our team is experienced in the area of litigation where legal proceedings have arisen, we also regularly advise clients at the initial dispute stage and act for clients in relation to alternative dispute resolution. Our team members are experienced negotiators and regularly attend both informal and formal mediations on behalf of our clients.

We regularly advise in relation to contractual disputes, shareholder and director disputes and disputes involving misleading and deceptive conduct. Our team also has experience advising in relation to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, including regularly advising on a broad range of consumer protection issues under the Australian Consumer Law.

Our team seeks to distinguish itself from other legal service providers by offering innovative and strategic legal services focusing at all times on a commercially driven approach to legal problem solving.

Their approach is always professional and delivered at a standard comparable to a capital city law firm. It is the clear strategic direction that has always impressed me about the SWS team.

The knowledge SWS has about private equity and managing M&A deals is very valuable. David & Andrew were able to help me navigate the issues and get me the exit I was looking for, while also supporting the other shareholders who remained with the business.

We believe their ability to combine first rate legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions. We use SWS because of their ability, not their post code.

-Robert Radcliffe-Smith, Advent

Extreme gratitude to David and Andrew for all your help with our transaction. You were both fantastic to deal with (as were the rest of the SWS team) and certainly made the negotiations and dealings easy to handle for us through the whole process.  I would certainly have no hesitation at all recommending you for any future work.  Again, I appreciate all your assistance.

-Director, JSA Group (Financial Services Transaction 2025)

The combination of rare legal expertise, commercial judgement and strong negotiating skills is rare amongst lawyers and provides us with a real competitive advantage in corporate transactions.

-Paul Valaire, Addcar

SWS has assisted with advice on securing and exercising complex property and commercial contractual rights and assisting with protracted contractual management and implementation. We value legal experts who can offer pragmatic and commercial legal solutions for our complicated matters. SWS Lawyers has consistently met these criteria.
