Our Litigation & Dispute Resolution Services
Astris Law handles commercial disputes from early-stage negotiation through to trial. Every matter is managed directly by our principal, so Sunnybank business owners get senior representation at every stage.
Our Approach to Litigation
Litigation is expensive and disruptive. A good litigation lawyer should be honest about the costs, risks and likely outcomes of a dispute before you commit to a course of action. At Astris Law, we start every matter with a frank assessment of your position, including the strengths and weaknesses of your case, the likely costs and timeframes and whether alternative dispute resolution could achieve a better outcome.
If litigation is the right path, we pursue it strategically. Our principal has experience running applications, interlocutory hearings and trials as a solicitor advocate, which means many matters can be handled without briefing external barristers. For complex matters where counsel is appropriate, we work with trusted barristers and manage the relationship directly.
Our dispute resolution approach also draws on more than 500 mediations conducted by our principal as a former nationally accredited mediator. This practical understanding of how disputes settle informs our strategy from day one, whether the goal is an early resolution or a contested hearing.

Common Questions
Do you have a litigation lawyer for Sunnybank?
Yes. Astris Law acts for directors and business owners in commercial disputes across Sunnybank, Sunnybank Hills, Runcorn and the surrounding southside. Our office is at Level 2, 8 Clunies Ross Court, Eight Mile Plains QLD 4113, a few minutes from Sunnybank. Our principal has advocacy experience and regularly appears in courts and tribunals, so the same lawyer handles your matter from first advice through to hearing.
What types of disputes does a litigation lawyer handle?
A litigation lawyer handles a broad range of commercial disputes including contract disputes, shareholder and director disputes, debt recovery, intellectual property infringement, employment disputes, regulatory investigations, trade practices claims and injunction applications. We also appear before tribunals such as the Fair Work Commission, QCAT and regulators including ASIC and AUSTRAC.
How much does a litigation lawyer cost?
Fees depend on the complexity and duration of the matter. Some stages can be handled on a fixed-fee basis, particularly initial advice, demand letters and simple applications. Litigation that runs further is priced in stages, with a written estimate and a decision point before each stage, so you can weigh the cost of the next step against what is at stake. We also advise on costs risk and recovery from the outset.
Can a dispute be resolved without going to court?
Yes. Many commercial disputes resolve through negotiation, mediation or other alternative dispute resolution without a court hearing, and Queensland courts expect parties to attempt resolution before trial. Our principal is a former nationally accredited mediator with experience across more than 500 mediations, which informs how we settle disputes from strength rather than drift into a contested hearing.
What should I do first if I have been served with court documents?
Note the date you were served and get advice immediately, because time limits run from service. A statutory demand gives a company 21 days with no extension, and a notice of intention to defend a claim is generally due within 28 days. Do not contact the other side or ignore the documents, as default judgment can be entered against you. Bring everything to a lawyer early while the options are still open.
