Our civil litigation practice may cover matters involving:
- Recovery of money

Before commencing civil proceedings, it is important to examine the available evidence, relevant documents, applicable limitation period and the court having territorial and pecuniary jurisdiction.
Commercial Litigation
Commercial disputes can disrupt business relationships, cash flow, management decisions and ongoing operations. Early legal assessment can help a business understand the strength of its position and decide whether to negotiate, mediate, arbitrate or initiate litigation.
AST Law Offices assists businesses with commercial disputes involving:
- Breach of commercial contracts

The Commercial Courts Act provides a specialised framework for commercial disputes falling within its scope and specified value. The forum and procedure applicable to a particular matter depend on the nature of the transaction, relief sought and other jurisdictional requirements.
Property and Real Estate Litigation
Property disputes frequently involve significant financial and personal interests. They may arise from unclear ownership records, family arrangements, contractual disagreements, possession issues, construction projects or transactions between buyers and sellers.
Our property litigation work may include:

Banking and Financial Litigation

- Loan and financing agreements
- Recovery claims
- Enforcement actions
- Guarantee-related disputes
- Banking documentation
- Financial contractual obligations
- Secured transactions
- Disputes involving business finance
- Interim protection against disputed actions
Every banking or financial dispute requires a detailed review of the transaction documents, notices, account records, security documents and applicable proceedings.
Interim Relief and Injunctions
Some disputes require urgent legal intervention before the main matter is finally decided. A party may need to protect property, preserve evidence, prevent the transfer of assets, restrain an alleged contractual breach or maintain the existing position until the dispute is heard.
Depending on the facts and applicable law, interim applications may seek:
- Temporary injunctions
- Protection of disputed property
- Restraint against disposal or transfer of assets
- Preservation of documents or evidence
- Stay of an order or proceeding
- Appointment of a receiver
- Security for a disputed claim
- Maintenance of the existing position
Interim relief is discretionary. Its availability depends on the facts, urgency, supporting evidence, balance of convenience and the nature of possible harm.
Appeals and Appellate Proceedings
An unfavourable order does not automatically mean that an appeal will succeed. The right to appeal, forum, permissible grounds and filing deadline depend on the applicable law and type of proceeding.
AST Law Offices may assist with:
- Review of judgments and orders
- Assessment of possible grounds of appeal
- Drafting appeal documents
- Applications for stay
- Revision and review proceedings
- Appellate representation
- Responses to appeals filed by another party
- Enforcement or challenge of appellate orders
Clients should seek advice promptly after receiving an order because limitation periods may apply.
Pre-Litigation Advice and Dispute Prevention
Court proceedings may not always be the first or most suitable step. A carefully prepared legal notice, structured negotiation or settlement proposal may help clarify the dispute and explore a practical resolution.
Pre-litigation assistance may include:
- Reviewing the legal and factual position
- Identifying contractual rights and obligations
- Evaluating available evidence
- Preparing or responding to legal notices
- Conducting without-prejudice discussions
- Exploring mediation or negotiated settlement
- Assessing litigation costs and commercial consequences
- Preserving important records
- Identifying urgent protective measures
- Preparing for possible proceedings
Where settlement is not appropriate or does not succeed, the work completed during the pre-litigation stage can help in preparing the matter for formal proceedings.
Our Approach to Litigation
Every legal dispute has its own facts, documents, relationships and practical consequences. Our approach begins with a detailed assessment rather than a predetermined course of action.
Understanding the dispute
We review the background of the matter, relevant documents, previous communications and the relief sought by the client.
Identifying legal and practical options
The available options may include negotiation, mediation, arbitration, litigation, an interim application, an appeal or a combination of remedies.
Developing a case strategy
The strategy is prepared after considering evidence, jurisdiction, limitation, costs, urgency and the possible impact of proceedings
Preparing the matter
Pleadings, applications, supporting documents and legal submissions are organised according to the requirements of the relevant forum.
Keeping the client informed
Clients are informed about important developments, procedural stages and decisions that may be required during the matter.
AST Law Offices’ existing practice information describes work across litigation, arbitration, corporate and commercial disputes, property matters, banking and financial litigation, shareholder disputes, succession matters, interim relief and appellate proceedings.
Documents to Bring for a Litigation Consultation
The documents required will depend on the dispute. However, clients may be asked to provide:
- Agreements and contracts
- Legal notices received or issued
- Court orders, petitions or applications
- Emails, letters and message records
- Payment receipts and bank records
- Property documents
- Company and shareholder records
- Government or regulatory correspondence
