Queen City Law provides specialist litigation services to its corporate and individual clients based both in NZ and offshore. The firm has substantial experience in key areas of civil litigation and it is able to draw on the collective experience of its lawyers which means combined experience of some 70 or so years in the law. This experience covers nearly all areas of the law.

QCL offers its clients access to commercially focused dispute resolution procedures at competitive legal fee rates. Clients are encouraged to discuss and agree on fees right from the start.

QCL also provides litigation support to other law firms and businesses sometimes on a fixed cost basis. This ensures that there are no surprises on fees and our clients know precisely where they stand, and what the final costs are before deciding to use our services. QCL also provides pro bono services but in very limited circumstances.

QCL can provide other law firms with access to litigation resources ordinarily found only in large national law firms combined with the independence that comes with being a specialist litigation practice. The firms services cover all aspects of commercial disputes from initial advice and strategy through to final resolution.

One of our strengths when dealing with complex litigation matters is our ability to get the right people quickly involved in the process right from the get-go. This approach often means clients can save significant costs and stops matters being fumbled around with.

Queen City Law takes a lateral and considered approach to litigation.Our objective is to put your best interests and commercial objectives at the forefront.

Most businesses will confront disputes. Expeditious, cost effective resolution is normally crucial.
QCLs focus is therefore to understand our clients issues and to STRATEGIZE the best possible outcome quickly. This often requires an analysis of the consequences of a particular course of action.

Prevention and Pre-Emption

Pre-empting litigation is a wise strategy and putting measures in place to eliminate or circumvent disputes in the first place is even more prudent. Our services also include conducting rigorous audits to identify potential pressure points and the implementation of measures in business to address them.

We are also very lucky to have Ross Dillon practicing as a Consultant at QCL. Ross has a couple of decades of litigation experience and has appeared twice at the Privy Council in London and at our own Supreme Court. Ross is also a trained mediator.
