Our Expertise
At Russell | van Hout, we specialise in several commercial and construction dispute services. Our approach combines deep legal expertise with a practical, results-driven mindset, ensuring that every strategy is tailored to your needs.
Our Core Services
Russell | van Hout specialises in resolving construction and commercial disputes. We handle contract disputes, delays, defects, insolvency, and debt recovery. The firm also deals with shareholder conflicts and class actions, providing efficient legal solutions with minimal business disruption. We have experience working on some of New Zealand’s largest cases.
Construction Disputes
When you work in construction, you want to focus on the project, not the legal issues. That’s why we provide specialised legal advice to help you minimise risk, remove uncertainty, and resolve any construction project dispute.
Our team is always on hand to assist, whether you need specialised legal counsel on a complex matter, negotiation services to avoid court, arbitration, or adjudication proceedings, or simply want to pick up the phone to gain helpful guidance from someone who knows their stuff.
Commercial Disputes
We handle legal disputes precisely, just like any other high-stakes business project. Each situation has a clear goal, a customised plan, and a commitment to the best resolution.
We specialise in resolving complex commercial disputes with high-quality, innovative legal solutions. Our goal is to settle matters outside of court, but if needed, we’re prepared to strongly defend your rights in court.
We understand legal issues can be challenging, but we aim to make the process clear, smooth and more efficient. By partnering with us, you can focus on your business while we handle your legal complexities with grit, resourcefulness, and bold solutions to every challenge.
