Property Confiscations

Our firm has extensive experience in dealing with property confiscation matters.

Our team can provide specialised advice if your assets have been frozen, confiscated or restrained. We can prepare and lodge all relevant Court documents and attend to any negotiations with the relevant prosecuting body in respect to those assets. We have previously successfully negotiated for the sale of frozen assets, funds to be released for legal fees and living expenses and assets to be released to the rightful owner.

As we have extensive commercial experience, we can also assist clients with negotiations with any banks or creditors that are required due to the confiscation proceedings.

As time limits apply for these types of matters, we recommend getting legal advice as soon as possible.

Dispute Resolution & Litigation

We have a wealth of dispute resolution and litigation experience.

Contract disputes can quickly escalate into a costly and unpleasant experience. If the dispute is not managed properly then it can cause irreparable damage to commercial relationships. Our Dispute Resolution team takes a proactive approach to managing disputes. We will work with you to either find a resolution or, if a negotiated outcome is not possible, to represent our clients in legal proceedings.

We provide a full range of services in respect to contractual disputes including both defending and pursuing legal claims in Court. We also act regularly in alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation, adjudications and arbitration.
