HW Litigation is a boutique commercial litigation practice. Our specialised team can assist in all facets of dispute resolution, negotiation, and Court action where appropriate.

- town planning issues and appeals – this may include advising on a town planning issue, negotiating with a local authority, seeking a declaration as to a client's rights in relation to planning matters, or appealing against decisions of local authorities;
- industrial relations and employment law – this may involve the preparation of employment or workplace agreements, assisting in effecting dismissals or redundancies, providing advice regarding employee entitlements, management issues, employee performance, risk reduction and management and workplace health and safety obligations;
- dispute resolution – we can arrange, attend and manage mediations or without prejudice conferences to maximise the prospects of resolving any disputes at the earliest stage possible;
