LITIGATION
Disputes can be complex and costly if they are not addressed early and strategically.
At Halliwells, our litigators combine legal expertise with sound judgment to help clients resolve disputes as effectively as possible. We represent clients in civil, commercial, and family proceedings across all New Zealand courts, providing clear communication, careful preparation, and strong advocacy from the outset.
OUR LITIGATION SERVICES
We represent clients in civil disputes across a wide range of matters, from contractual claims and property disputes to proceedings involving individuals, businesses, trusts, and estates. Our team provides practical, strategic representation at each stage, from early correspondence and negotiation through to court hearings and trial.
Not every dispute needs to end up in court. We support clients in resolving disputes through negotiation, mediation, settlement discussions, and other practical steps where appropriate. We also act in debt recovery matters, helping clients pursue unpaid debts efficiently while keeping the commercial realities in mind.
Some situations require immediate action to protect a person, property, business, or legal position. We assist with urgent court applications, including injunctions and interim orders, where delay may cause further loss or harm. Our team can act quickly to assess the situation, prepare the necessary documents, and seek appropriate orders from the Court.
When court action is required, we provide clear representation throughout the litigation process. This includes preparing pleadings, affidavits, submissions, evidence, and court documents, as well as appearing at hearings, conferences, and trials. We focus on careful preparation, strong advocacy, and keeping clients informed as their matter progresses.
