Going to Court is the civilised world’s way of settling disputes that were previously settled with fists, swords or guns.  However, litigation carries the legacy of those more primitive methods of settling disputes – just like a fist fight or boxing match the bigger, stronger opponent carries a huge advantage unless the smaller opponent has a better strategy and some tricks of the trade or the knowledge of a wily veteran.  So when you head off to Court against an opponent with deeper pockets, you need someone who knows the ropes, knows your side of the story back to front (and the opposing side’s as well) and can communicate with you effectively.  You need someone who can think objectively for you when you are in the heat of battle.  You need someone who can tell you the strengths and weaknesses of your case, and when you should attack or retreat – sometimes the key to successful litigating is not winning, but coming out of the process with the best result possible.  You need someone you can trust to be acting in your interest.

Matthew brings 22 years of experience working in a litigation environment.  He adopts a no-nonsense approach to litigation.  There’s little point in running up costs in skirmishes when it’s important to keep your eye on the end goal.  He takes the time to explain to clients what is happening at each step in the process in a language they can understand.  His approach to any case is to properly understand the facts and circumstances of that case at an early stage in order to maximise the chances of a successful resolution.  Adopting that approach, Matthew has settled multi-million dollar claims against clients for a fraction of those amounts.
