Modern Dispute Resolution for the Digital Age

Save Thousands

Most dispute resolution legal teams consist of just a few key personnel who make all the key decisions. Usually a Senior Lawyer, a Junior Lawyer and Barrister. Why then do litigation costs regularly go over into the hundreds of thousands of dollars?

A few reasons, but in our view one of the main ones is under-adoption of legal technology in the industry. We’re here to change that by empowering our key decision makers with the best technology, so you can save thousands.

Dispute resolution with momentum

Traditional dispute resolution makes you feel like you’ll be locked in conflict forever. You don’t need to drain resources that should be focused on building the future. We can help you through disputes by deploying a modern litigation workflow that builds momentum, allowing you to get back to the work that matters most. Here are some of the other benefits of working with Artificer to resolve a dispute.

Wide range of commercial disputes

Our practitioners have helped clients in disputes involving all types of business transactions, product liability or even arising from cyber incidents. Here are some of the success stories our practitioners have achieved in the past:

  • Advice to leading Australian business software company on a successful settlement outcome involving alleged liability arising from ransomware cyber incident.
  • Defence of a school from a privacy complaint launched in the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) alleging serious breaches of privacy resulting in successful dismissal of the complaint.
  • Advice to a multi-national software services company on liability and resolution strategy under a government services contract in the face of allegations of non-performance, resulting in successful settlement of the claim.
  • Defence of a software company against unfair preference claim by client organisation under administration, resulting in favourable settlement of the claim.
  • Defence of a software company against claims of non-performance under contract for delivery of implementation services, mitigating risk of commencement of proceedings and negotiating termination of contract under favourable circumstances to the company.
Digital case management

We run a digital-first practice, that means totally digital case management. We utilise professional project management tools to estimate each phase of your case and track the budget against actuals, giving you total transparency to see where your case is at and get real-time updates on how the matter is unfolding.

We pride ourselves on this transparency of case management, and we believe that our client’s having access to digital progress tracking is the key to ensuring you’re never left without the ability to update your internal stakeholders on the true facts behind the progression of your case.

Outcome-oriented solicitors

Experience has taught us to keep the wider business concerns of our client in sharp focus. We will approach your case with your commercial drivers in mind at all times – no point scoring or glory-hunters here – just solid outcomes that help you resolve the dispute and get back to growing your business.

Technology Disputes

We live and breathe technology business, and that gives us an edge when it comes to quickly resolving disputes that may arise.

Hire lawyers who understand your commercial drivers. Spend your budget actually resolving the dispute, not teaching the basics.

We know technology disputes

Our practitioners have experience resolving or preventing disputes for technology businesses. We’ve got an exceptional grasp of the risks and commercial drivers facing technology business and we know how important it is to avoid having to expose proprietary methodologies or the complex inner workings of technology just to avoid disputes.

Without this insider knowledge, legal cases can often get lost instructing the lawyers on how the fundamentals of your company’s enabling technology actually works. We’ll demonstrate we’re well ahead of our peers in this respect, and where gaps exist we’re committed to making sure you don’t pay extra getting us up to speed on the basics.

Fully project-managed litigation

Not every firm follows a formal project management structure. By doing so, we can offer a more predictable stage-based pricing approach and monitor the progress in a granular fashion. This means that you’ll be able to give updates to your executive decision makers at any point in the process – it tends to reduce the need for us to have regular check-ins. Litigation always carries a risk of unpredictable scheduling, but using our approach you’ll always get access to our best guess whenever you need it.

If it can settle, it will

Recognising where favourable settlements can be achieved is what sets great litigators apart from the good ones. We’re not interested in prolonging disputes where we could be focused on helping you grow your business. If we can find a pragmatic approach to settle, you’ll hear about it first from us.
