Business & Commercial Disputes — What Sets Us Apart

Goldman Law owns its 30 years of multi-disciplinary, top-tier expertise. Our founder and Litigation Director personally oversees and drives every litigation strategy.
Our in-house GoldTech Vault litigation platform provides advanced, AI-assisted analytical capabilities that reduce work peaks and deliver strategic advantages rarely available to other firms — without outsourcing your confidential data to third parties.
Look for past results, strategy, knowledge, and capacity. You also need to know about the firm’s relationships with leading counsel (barristers).

Commercial Litigation FAQs — NSW
Real client FAQs. Compiled over 10 years across Australia.
Do I need a lawyer for a commercial dispute in NSW?
In most commercial disputes above $20,000, experienced legal representation significantly improves outcomes. Early advice — even before proceedings commence — can prevent costly mistakes and often leads to faster, cheaper resolution.
What are the usual steps in the NSW litigation process?
Most commercial litigation in NSW follows 7–8 stages: pre-action negotiations → commencement → defence → discovery → mediation → pre-trial preparation → hearing → costs assessment. Goldman Law's Litigation Process Map gives you a clear roadmap at the outset.
How long does it take to resolve a commercial dispute in Sydney?
Simple disputes can resolve in 3–6 months via mediation. Complex multi-party matters in the Supreme or Federal Court may take 12–36 months. We provide a realistic timeline estimate in our initial case assessment.
How much does commercial litigation cost in NSW, and who pays legal fees?
Costs depend on complexity and forum. Our fixed-fee menu (see above) gives you a clear indication from Stage 1. The general rule in NSW is that costs follow the event — the losing party pays a proportion of the winner's costs — but this is discretionary.
Can we settle a dispute without going to court?
Yes. Most commercial disputes in NSW can and should be resolved through negotiation, mediation or conciliation. Goldman Law actively pursues early resolution where it makes commercial sense, saving time and preserving business relationships.
What should I do if I receive a Statement of Claim in Sydney?
Act immediately — you typically have 28 days to file a defence in NSW. Contact us as soon as possible. Late responses can result in default judgment against you.
Do you offer fixed-fee or no-win, no-fee commercial litigation?
We offer fixed-fee and capped-fee structures at every stage (see our fee menu above). No-win, no-fee arrangements are assessed on a case-by-case basis — contact us to discuss your specific matter.
Is my case handled personally by a partner?
Yes. Unlike large firms, Goldman Law's Litigation Director Jaswinder (Jas) Sekhon is personally involved in strategy and oversight at every stage.We offer fixed-fee and capped-fee structures at every stage (see our fee menu above). No-win, no-fee arrangements are assessed on a case-by-case basis — contact us to discuss your specific matter.
Is ALSP secure?
Yes. Our GoldTech Vault is Goldman Law's own proprietary secure digital platform — there is no third-party outsourcing of your confidential case data.
Do you act for small and medium enterprises (SMEs)?
Yes. We act for businesses of all sizes — from individual high-net-worth clients to SMEs and major commercial lenders. Our transparent fee structures are designed to make senior-quality litigation accessible to businesses that can't justify big-firm fees.
