FAQs

Can you appear for me at my hearing, conciliation conference or mediation? 

Whether we consider it the best approach to appear for you directly or brief a barrister with respect to any hearing, conciliation conference or mediation, will depend on the complexity of your matter, the type of court event, as well as your individual needs and preference. 

Can I engage you if I already have legal representation? 

 Yes. We can arrange for your file to be transferred from your current lawyers and take the necessary steps to enable you to formally retain us. We will also need to consider any future court dates and/or deadlines and outstanding fees (if any) owed to your current legal representatives.
