Commercial Litigation
Litigation and Dispute Resolution Legal disputes are, unfortunately, inevitable. With the growing complexity of commercial transactions, we take a global strategic approach to resolving disputes for our clients, with the aim of achieving efficient outcomes, including simplifying the litigation process and actively seeking solutions through negotiation and mediation.
Family Law & Divorce
We are committed to the constructive resolution of family disputes such as adoption, child support, custody, juvenile delinquency and divorce. Our ability to offer professional detachment without losing empathy is a skill which we have acquired over two decades of practice.
Our team of legal experts delivers legal services on case to case bases. We encourage less court appearances through mediation if necessary.
Criminal Law
Our solicitors are experienced in representing clients at all stages of criminal matters, from the very first investigation interview all the way through to the conclusion of trial or appeal. We assist clients who are involved in investigations and prosecutions.
Tax
Our tax lawyers counsel clients to navigate complex tax regulations so that they pay the appropriate tax on income, profits and property. We represent both local and foreign clients in tax planning matters.
Employment & Contract Law
Haynes & Cronwell solicitors has experience acting for both employers and employees, in employment disputes. Our firm has acted for senior executives in the banking and finance industry; the transport and logistics industry; the education sector; the fashion industry; and the manufacturing industry. We regularly review and comment upon draft employment contracts, prior to commencement of employment. We also advise clients, in the lead-up to termination of employment, on their termination entitlements, including the requisite notice of termination and separation agreements.
Arbitration
Prolonged litigation sometimes takes a toll on the client. Our primary duty is to advise our client(s) on legal disputes and the best legal mechanisms available for their timely, successful resolution. Our lawyers first advise on the option of arbitration as a form of dispute resolution before deciding on taking a dispute to court. Our dispute resolution team is prepared and well-equipped to achieve rapid and lasting results.
