Discuss My Case

Initial consultation

We begin with an initial consultation, either in person or over the phone, where we gain a comprehensive understanding of your case and objectives. This allows us to determine how we can assist you effectively and within your budget.

Case discovery and advisory

Next, we conduct a thorough case discovery to identify the scope of your case, collect relevant documents, and provide you with an initial fee estimate.

Review & development of initial strategy

Our experienced team reviews your key documents and develops an initial strategy tailored to your objectives. We provide you with an initial appraisal of your case, strategy and options based on our expertise.

Detailed fee estimate & step by step plan

Based on the options you choose to pursue, we provide you with a detailed fee estimate and a step-by-step plan to progress your case. This ensures transparency and clarity throughout the process.

Case kick-off & strategy implementation

We implement and run the case strategy we have developed together, with the goal of achieving a successful resolution. Throughout every stage, we prioritise communication with you, guiding you through the dispute resolution process.

Your case conclusion

When a negotiated settlement is reached or a final court judgment is given, we assist you in finalising your case, ensuring that all loose ends are tied off.

Ongoing relationship & advisory

Our commitment to you extends beyond the resolution of your current case. With a deep understanding of your affairs/business, we are ideally positioned to assist you with any future legal issues that may arise, all at a minimal cost.

Frequently asked questions

How long will it take to resolve my case?

Every case is unique, just like the people involved in them and the issues they are in dispute about. That means the time to resolve each case will be different and depend on a range of factors, such as their respective objectives, budgets for legal fees, amount in dispute, risk appetites and willingness to reach a compromise or not.

As a general guide, however, cases which involve relatively simple legal issues will take between a couple of weeks to 3-4 months to resolve. More complex cases generally take between 4-12 months or longer if the case is litigated (e.g. if court proceedings are necessary to resolve the case) and the parties are unable to reach a compromise. Message us today to get an estimated timeline for your case.

How much will my legal case cost?

You will always receive a transparent pricing estimate before work is commenced on your case. For your peace of mind, we offer pricing models tailored to your needs and budget and are significantly less expensive when compared to a traditional law firm.

Due to our law firm's specialised nature, we are able to operate with less overheads compared to a traditional law firm, and will pass these cost efficiencies along to you, without sacrificing on the quality of our service.

Will I have to go to court?

Our priority is to find the most suitable and efficient solution for your specific situation. While court proceedings are sometimes necessary, we explore alternative dispute resolution methods first. Finch Litigation Lawyers have a range of strategies and techniques available, including negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. These methods often prove successful in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom, offering benefits such as cost savings, time efficiency, and the opportunity to maintain a more favourable relationship with the opposing party.

Can I recover my legal costs from the other side?

In commercial litigation and dispute resolution cases, the recovery of legal costs from the opposing party is a potential outcome; however, it is important to note that this is subject to certain factors and considerations. The general principle is that the successful party may be entitled to recover a portion of their reasonable legal costs incurred during the proceedings.

Will I win my legal case?

During our initial consultation, we will carefully assess the merits of your case based on the information you provide. From there, we will review the relevant legal principles, analyse the strengths and weaknesses of your position, and provide you with an honest evaluation of your chances of success.

We will always work towards the best result possible based on your situation. And while we cannot provide an absolute guarantee of your claim's outcome, we can assure you that our law firm has extensive experience and a prestigious track record in handling cases, including those in the District and Supreme Courts of Queensland and Federal Court of Australia.
