Appellate Practice

We advise on the merits of an appeal, recommend the strategy to be adopted and appear in court as counsel.​​

​​Why engage an appellate specialist?
​An appellate specialist brings detached, critical analysis to a concluded first instance case and helps identify, preserve and protect issues necessary to prevail on appeal. Our lawyers have experience in:​

• Challenging or supporting the application of precedents and statutory provisions to facts; 
• Legal research and written advocacy to persuade the re-examination of an existing decision and in anticipating how an appellate court may react to a challenge to the reasoning in existing decisions; and ​​
• Navigating the rules and procedure governing appeals.

Civil Litigation

• ​We represent clients at all stages of the dispute resolution process in civil commercial matters including tortious, contractual, banking and financial services disputes.
