At New South Lawyers, our Commercial Litigation lawyers in Sydney don’t just advise – we take control. Businesses, directors and high-performing professionals across diverse industries turn to us when results are non-negotiable. We combine unrelenting legal precision with commercial intelligence to neutralise threats fast and protect your interests, reputation and long-term competitive position. Whether it’s a shareholder stand-off, a seven-figure contractual breach or urgent injunction proceedings, we act decisively and with authority, eliminating risk before it escalates.

Commercial Litigation is rarely straightforward. It’s strategic warfare with high stakes, multiple stakeholders and reputational exposure. Our senior lawyers bring decades of front-line experience representing companies, shareholders and directors in disputes where hesitation isn’t an option. From freezing orders against rogue directors to defending major construction firms in defective works claims, we move quickly, cut through complexity and execute precise legal action that shifts momentum in your favour.

We operate with a commercial mindset and militant execution. Before triggering Commercial Litigation, we analyse every scenario for leverage – negotiation, mediation, arbitration – and if the opposition won’t budge, we prosecute the matter with uncompromising force. We prepare meticulously, brief senior counsel effectively, and present arguments that are sharp, commanding and difficult to rebut. Strategy drives everything; outcomes are non-negotiable.

We advise and represent clients in a broad range of commercial and corporate disputes, including:

• Breach of contract and non-performance
• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Director and fiduciary duty claims
• Joint venture and franchise disputes
• Professional negligence and misrepresentation
• Trade mark and intellectual property disputes
• Debt recovery and enforcement matters
• Breach of confidentiality and restraint of trade claims

Every dispute is handled with precision, focus, and attention to commercial realities.

Legal disputes disrupt cash flow, delay projects and jeopardise market position. Our business Commercial Litigation team works directly with company owners, boards and in-house counsel to contain risk and maintain operational continuity. We deliver aggressive legal strategy aligned with your business objectives – whether that means enforcing contractual rights, challenging unfair practices or defending against targeted attacks.

Internal disputes can dismantle leadership and destabilise the entire organisation. We step in fast. We manage governance issues, oppression actions, minority shareholder disputes and claims of director misconduct with a view to restoring control and authority. In a recent matter, we acted for majority shareholders to remove a non-compliant director within 48 hours through urgent court intervention – safeguarding company stability and investor confidence.

Not every battle belongs in the courtroom – some require a strategic strike behind closed doors. We regularly negotiate and resolve disputes in mediation, arbitration and expert determination forums, securing cost-effective outcomes without injecting unnecessary complexity. Our lawyers negotiate with firm resolve and tactical restraint, leveraging position without sacrificing dominance.

When Commercial Litigation becomes inevitable, we don’t hesitate. Our litigators appear in the Local, District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales and the Federal Court of Australia. We manage evidence with discipline, work seamlessly with barristers and deploy cases built to withstand pressure. Whether pursuing urgent injunctions against a competitor or defending complex contractual claims, our advocacy is assertive, calculated and unwavering.

We act for both plaintiffs and defendants in professional negligence and advisory failure matters involving accountants, financial advisors, engineers and other professionals. We prosecute misleading or deceptive conduct claims under the Australian Consumer Law and the Corporations Act with forensic accuracy. Recent example: securing a substantial damages award for a client defrauded by inaccurate financial modelling, reinforcing that accountability is non-negotiable.

Our strategies are designed to protect not just your assets, but your reputation and commercial leverage. We prioritise clarity, real-time communication and direct advisory so your decisions are always informed and tactical. When the pressure is highest, we step in as the commanding presence your business needs.
