Our Brisbane-based commercial litigation lawyers have many years of experience in litigation and dispute resolution, securing countless successful outcomes for clients.
Cooper Grace Ward’s litigators are known for their strategic, commercial and practical approach. We build relationships with clients to run cases in a way that suits their situation and resources. Often that involves resolving disputes through negotiation outside the court process. Other times – where our clients want to run cases to trial – our commercial litigation lawyers have the experience, expertise and resources to strongly represent their interests.
Our Brisbane based litigation lawyers represent a wide range of clients nationally in litigation and disputes, including listed companies, private companies and individuals, local and foreign governments and quasi-government regulators.
Our litigators have the significant advantage of being part of a large commercial law firm, which means they are able to draw on the specialist expertise of many other market-leading practice teams. Where necessary, we assemble multi-disciplinary legal teams to work on cases.
As one of the leading Brisbane based law firms, we have represented clients in high profile, hard fought, and complex business litigation cases. Our litigation lawyers help commercial clients resolve more straightforward contentious situations that arise as part of day-to-day business operations.
We work in every legal forum, from state and federal courts to alternative dispute resolution proceedings, along with tribunals of all kinds.
Cooper Grace Ward is one of the largest commercial litigation law firms in Brisbane. As such, we handle all types of disputes and legal representation including:
Our dispute resolution team is currently recognised (whether as a team or through an individual team member) in all leading legal ranking publications including Chambers Global, Chambers Asia Pacific, The Legal 500, Doyles Guide and Best Lawyers.

The recent Supreme Court of Queensland decision of DCZ Early Learning Pty Ltd v Semper Mortgage Management Pty Ltd, provides a useful illustration of the risks that businesses face as a result of the unfair contract term regime, and the things that businesses must prove to successfully defend a claim.
Parties to commercial contracts commonly agree on dispute resolution processes to seek to avoid court proceedings in the event of a dispute. These often provide very limited scope for an unsuccessful party to challenge the result. A recent Queensland case illustrates the risks for unsuccessful parties in the context of an expert determination clause.
This achievement is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire litigation and dispute resolution team, who have continued to provide outstanding service to clients throughout FY24.
