CIVIL LITIGATION LAWYER BRISBANE

Boss Lawyers provide strategic, results-driven representation in Civil Litigation matters.

When rights clash, civil law steps in.

Civil litigation deals with disputes between individuals, businesses or organisations and is distinct from criminal law matters. Civil law focuses on rights, obligations and remedies to govern these legal disputes.

At Boss Lawyers, we regularly advise and represent clients across a range of civil litigation matters, including:

  • Contract disputes
  • Property disagreements
  • Employment-related claims

Navigating the legal system in Queensland requires a clear legal strategy. Our team provides sound legal representation at every stage, ensuring your rights are protected and your objectives are front of mind.

Our civil lawyers help you understand key considerations like legal costs, evidentiary burdens and strategic resolution options, all while maintaining focus on results that matter to you.

TYPES OF CIVIL DISPUTES WE HANDLE

Our experienced civil litigation lawyers provide our clients with specialised legal representation across a wide range of personal and business disputes, from contract and property matters to negligence and insurance claims. Our service expertise

Our civil litigation team works with you to develop litigation dispute resolution strategies that align with your legal objectives and protect your interests.

COMMERCIAL LITIGATION DISPUTE

Commercial disputes arise when businesses or their stakeholders disagree over rights, obligations or performance under a commercial arrangement. Typical triggers include contract breaches, partnership disputes or shareholder conflicts, as well as disputes over goods or services quality. These matters often involve significant sums, multiple parties and complex terms, making strategic legal advice critical.

At Boss Lawyers, we analyse the commercial and legal drivers of your dispute, advise on risk and likely outcomes and pursue litigation and dispute resolution via negotiation, mediation or court proceedings. We always align our commercial law strategy to your business objectives.

PROPERTY DISPUTES

Property disputes cover conflicts over the ownership, use or boundaries of residential or commercial real estate. They often stem from ambiguous title documents, co‑ownership breakdowns, lease breaches or easements issues. Without prompt resolution, these disagreements can escalate and impede development or asset management.

Boss Lawyers outlines your legal rights, guides you through statutory processes (such as appointing a trustee or enforcing a covenant) and, where necessary, represents you in court to secure a clear title or enforce your property interests.

DEBT RECOVERY

Debt recovery involves the process of enforcing payment of overdue debts owed by individuals or entities. Causes range from cash‑flow problems and insolvency to simple non‑payment of invoices. Prompt and professional recovery action is essential to preserve cash flow and deter future defaults.

Our team drafts effective terms of trade, issues letters of demand and will institute court proceedings or insolvency actions as required. Boss Lawyers’ proactive approach helps you with debt collection so you receive what you’re owed while maintaining client and supplier relationships where possible.

CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES

Building and construction disputes arise from disagreements over project scope, contract terms, delays, defects or payment claims. Such conflicts can halt projects, inflate costs and damage reputations if not managed swiftly.

Boss Lawyers partners with contractors, developers and owners to pinpoint contractual obligations, assess claims and pursue resolution through adjudication, arbitration or court litigation. We aim to secure timely outcomes that keep your project on track.

INSOLVENCY AND BANKRUPTCY LITIGATION

Insolvency litigation involves disputes triggered by one party’s inability to pay creditors, including claims of unfair preferences, voidable transactions or director misconduct. These matters often arise in corporate restructures or bankruptcy proceedings, where stakeholders seek to protect or recover value.

Our team guides creditors, liquidators and debtors through insolvency processes. We combine commercial insight with technical expertise to achieve fair, enforceable resolutions under the Corporations Act and Bankruptcy Act.

DEFAMATION MATTERS

Defamation disputes occur when published words or images harm an individual’s or organisation’s reputation. They typically follow media reports, online reviews or social media posts that contain false or misleading defamatory statements. Such claims require a careful balance between protecting reputation and upholding free expression.

Boss Lawyers provides clear advice on whether your case meets legal thresholds, negotiates retractions or apologies where appropriate and manages urgent interlocutory relief. If necessary, we will bring or defend proceedings in court to seek damages or injunctive relief to safeguard your good name.

EMPLOYMENT-RELATED CLAIMS

Employment-related disputes arise when disagreements occur between employers and employees over workplace rights, obligations or conduct. Common triggers include unfair dismissal, workplace bullying or harassment, breaches of employment contracts and discrimination based on race, gender, disability or other protected attributes. These disputes can be deeply personal and legally complex, especially when emotions run high or internal processes have broken down.

Boss Lawyers can act for employers or employees in resolving employment disputes. Whether you're dealing with an unfair dismissal application, a general protections claim or a contractual dispute over entitlements, we offer clear advice grounded in employment law and fair work legislation. Our team guides you through conciliation, Fair Work Commission processes and, if needed, court proceedings.

    CIVIL LITIGATION LAWYER FAQS

    Will going to court be my only option in a civil dispute?

    Not necessarily. With a qualified lawyer, civil litigation does not always have to end with going to court. While we’re fully equipped to represent you in court, many civil matters can be resolved without formal litigation. We explore practical options like negotiation, mediation and arbitration first. This helps you avoid unnecessary costs and delays wherever possible. Should your case proceed this far, we have experience in district, state and federal court.
    That depends on a few factors, such as the strength of your position, the potential outcome and the costs involved. Unlike criminal proceedings, which demand proof “beyond a reasonable doubt”, civil litigation operates on the “balance of probabilities”. In other words, if your version of events is more likely to be true than untrue, the court will rule in your favour. We’ll give you honest, strategic advice up front, so you can make an informed decision about whether to proceed and how.
    We are a law firm that takes the time to understand your situation, deliver a sharp legal strategy and keep you involved throughout the litigation process. Our goal is to resolve your dispute in a way that makes sense for you.
