Minter Ellison is recognised as a leader in dispute resolution in Australia. Our national practice has renowned depth of knowledge, with 53 partners and over 210 specialist dispute resolution lawyers across Australia.
Our aim is to assist clients to avoid disputes wherever possible, but we realise that disputes are sometimes an inevitable part of doing business. We work with our clients to provide practical advice and devise litigation strategies that realistically identify the prospects of success. Where appropriate, we explore alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation or arbitration. At Minter Ellison, our focus is on achieving commercial outcomes for clients.
Minter Ellison acts in some of the most complex and important litigation in the Australian market, and has significant experience representing clients involved in high profile ASIC/ASX/ACCC investigations and other government inquiries. Some of our recent cases include:
- Representing ANZ in the collapse of Opes Prime
Advising a party to the Aristocrat class action – the largest class action in Australian history
Defending the former CEO and Managing Director of James Hardie Industries in ASIC civil penalty procedures
Defending Crown Melbourne Limited and two of its executives in a claim by a patron for gambling losses
Defending Qantas in a class action brought by travel agents over the payment of commission on fuel surcharges
Acting for The Age newspaper in proceedings under the New Uniform Defamation legislation
