Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"What we appreciated most about working with Morgan Solomon was his extraordinary ability to absorb and process information on his feet and cut through peripheral issues. A good lawyer needs to remain calm, collected and outcome focussed throughout a tough negotiation. Morgan ticked all of these boxes, and more. He’s also a wonderful guy and really easy to work with."

"Brandon and the team and SHL were excellent to deal with. Their advice was clear and articulated in a manner that I could understand. They worked to some critical deadlines that I had which was very important. I would highly recommend and will certainly use their services again in the future. I would like to recommend Brandon Hetherington, Brandon has been amazing. Without his professionalism I probably would of going crazy. He explained everything in layman terms, which was great. Thanks once again, if you need a lawyer this is the place to go."

"Recently we consulted Solomon Hollet Lawyers to deal with some family matters on my behalf. In relation to a will. They were fantastic. Professional right from the start to the end. They made the process very comforting indeed. Originally I got onto them via a way of a 15 minute free phone call which I found on the internet.

Review for Andrew Bower
Andrew Bower
"Andrew Bower represented me in a very messy business partnership dispute. Andrew’s professional conduct, court mannerisms and high quality of work was amazing! His knowledge of the legal system and attention to detail gave me peace of mind every step of the way. The last 12 months have been a stressful legal roller coater ride and in December Andrew put a successful end to that chapter. I would highly recommend Andrew and I cannot thank him enough. Andrew Bower from Solomon Hollett law firm is an extremely professional, knowledgeable, pro active lawyer that owns the client's problem, and do everything possible to help the client succeed with great care, loyalty, passion and dedication.

Review for Morgan Solomon
Morgan Solomon
"We engaged Solomon Hollett to represent us (executors) in a challenging and frustrating Estate matter. We cannot praise both Morgan Solomon and Matthew Gunn highly enough for the extremely professional and understanding approach they took and their attention to detail. Their knowledge of both the law and estate procedures was second to none and their communication skills were outstanding. We settled the matter at mediation thanks in large part to their support and guidance. I would very strongly recommend them."

Review for Craig Hollett
Craig Hollett
"I recently employed Craig Hollett when my partner required defence in a complex criminal matter. From the outset of this very difficult journey, Craig’s professional and approachable manner put me at ease. Navigating foreign legal processes was incredibly unnerving, but Craig’s extensive knowledge and patient explanation made the experience far less daunting. Craig was always available to me when I required advice and guidance, which made me feel as though there was someone I could trust in the midst of a great deal of turbulence. Although he was kind and reassuring, Craig was straight down the line and made sure I was fully aware of all possible outcomes, even when it was not what I wanted to hear. The compassion and genuine concern he showed was extraordinary, as was his unwavering performance in court. With Craig’s guidance, we were able to obtain the best outcome we could expect, and I will be forever grateful to him. I could not be more pleased with the service that Craig provided and would not hesitate to recommend him."

Review for Andrew Bower
Andrew Bower
"Our experience with Solomon Hollett Lawyers was nothing short of fantastic. We found ourselves in a tough spot when a client unexpectedly canceled a contract early, leaving us hanging with unpaid invoices and other charges for months. Andrew Bower, came highly recommended from another lawyer and lived up to every expectation. Not only were him and his team incredibly knowledgeable about the intricacies of contract law, but they handled our case with the utmost professionalism and expertise. What truly set them apart was their ability to translate all that legal terminology into layman's terms that we could easily grasp. It made navigating the complexities of our situation a breeze. Thanks to their guidance and skillful negotiation, we were able to resolve the matter in our favor. We couldn't be happier with the outcome! They consistently deliver exceptional service, demonstrating proficiency at every juncture. Highly recommended!"

Review for Brandon Hetherington
Brandon Hetherington
"Brandon Hetherington has been an absolute Godsend for us in a very difficult and stressful estate matter, which the Executor had been mishandling and dragging on for many years before we bought Brandon in to act. Prior to this, his advice and guidance kept us sane. All our enquiries were handled promptly and saved us from many sleepless nights. Without his help we would still be in estate limbo. We can't thank Brandon and Jessica Spee enough for their professionalism, empathy and support. They have got us through and we can now finally move on. Hopefully we never need their services again but I wouldn't trust anyone else with such important matters."

How to navigate commercial disputes

Frequently asked questions

What constitutes a contract dispute?

A contract dispute occurs when one or both parties do not agree on the contract’s interpretation or implementation. This can include disputes over scope of work, payment terms, delivery timelines, or the quality of goods or services provided.

What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?

Mediation may be voluntary, it may be required by a term of a contract or it may be court ordered. It’s a confidential process where a neutral third party, known as a mediator, helps the disputing parties to explore the dispute and attempt to reach a mutually acceptable agreement or resolution of the dispute. A mediator cannot determine any of the issues in dispute, but can implement an agreed position adopted by all parties to the dispute.
Arbitration involves a neutral person, known as an arbitrator, who listens to both sides and makes a binding decision to resolve the dispute.

How long does it take to resolve a contract dispute?

This is completely dependent on the nature of the dispute and complexity of the case, as well as the chosen method of resolution (negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation). It also depends on the willingness of both parties to reach an agreement.

Some disputes can be resolved in a matter of weeks, while others may take months or even years.

Can I handle a contract dispute without a lawyer?

It is possible, but the complexities of contract law and the potential for significant financial and legal consequences make it advisable to seek professional advice.
Our contract dispute lawyers can provide crucial guidance, ensure your rights are protected, and increase your likelihood of a favourable outcome.

What should I do if I'm facing a contract dispute?

If you’re dealing with contractual disputes, it’s important to gather all relevant documents and evidence related to the dispute. Avoid taking any action that could worsen the situation, and consult with a qualified contract dispute lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your options and next steps.

How can I avoid contract disputes in the future?

    • To reduce the risk of having to undergo contract dispute resolution in the future, there are a few preventative measures you can take:

    • Clearly define contract terms
    • Ensure all parties have a mutual understanding of the agreement
    • Maintain open and clear communication
    • Regularly review contracts to address potential issues before they escalate into disputes
    • Our experienced team of contract lawyers can help to ensure your contracts are up to date and cover everything they need to cover.

What are the potential outcomes of a contract dispute?

Outcomes can vary depending on the dispute. Outcomes may include:

  • Renegotiation of contract terms
  • Monetary compensation
  • Specific performance (completion of contractual obligations)
  • Termination of contract

The resolution will also depend on the nature of the dispute, the parties’ preferences, the parties willingness to resolve the dispute and the decision of the arbitrator, or court.
