Licensing Appeals

For many Australians, a licence is the key to their livelihood and when your licence is under threat, the consequences can be devastating. Our lawyers can fight to protect it.

When licensing authorities threaten to revoke or restrict your licence, it’s time to seek quality legal advice that you can trust. Antunes Lawyers can assist you to appeal licensing authorities decisions.

Many professions in Australia require a licence of some kind. Being a tradesperson, contractor, NDIS provider, truck driver, and others, all rely on obtaining and keeping a licence to stay employed. If your licence is at risk, so is your job, so don’t risk hiring an inexperienced lawyer.

Our team can provide you insight into how licensing authorities operate, communicate and negotiate with authorities on your behalf, appeal decisions, and deliver outcomes that protect one of your most valuable possessions, your licence.

Our team can help you draft initial claims to insurance companies, appeal decisions that refuse your claims, negotiate on your behalf to ensure payment, and review any future insurance contracts to ensure you’re sufficiently covered before you sign the dotted line.

Contract Disputes

Contracts set the scene for business relationships and establish the terms for how individuals can behave. When a contract is breached, the legal consequences can be severe.

Antunes Lawyers can resolve contract disputes in a timely manner and draft contracts that avoid the potential of future disputes.

Contract disputes can stem from many factors. Two parties may have conflicting interpretations of the contract’s terms, a party may breach a key term of their contract, a party may wish to terminate their contract, or an initial contract may offer unfair terms. Many of these disputes are far more likely to occur when a contract is poorly drafted and contains unclear terms. Unclear terms provide ambiguity that can be taken advantage of and lead to unintended and unfavourable results.

Our team can draft contracts that limit the potential of future contract disputes, review contracts, advise you of your rights under the contract, inform you about the legal consequences of a breach in contract, help you to receive compensation if a breach occurs, draft statutory demands, commence legal proceedings, and negotiate settlements to resolve the dispute.

Consumer Claims

If you’re an individual that’s been harmed or negatively affected by a business’s product or service within the last three years, you may be entitled to compensation.

Antunes Lawyers can help you navigate Australian Consumer Law and successfully apply for a consumer claim with the NSW Civil Administrative Tribunal (NCAT).

In NSW, NCAT deals with consumer claims within the jurisdictional limit of up to $100,000 and if a consumer claim is greater than the $100,000 NCAT monetary limit, the claim is taken over by the jurisdiction of the NSW Courts.

Our team can help you to identify a breach in Australian Consumer Law, determine the level of compensation you may be entitled to, negotiate settlements with businesses, prepare a case that provides the highest likelihood of success, and represent you in court if legal proceedings escalate.

Association Disputes

Being involved in a local Club or Association can be an incredibly rewarding and enjoyable pastime. But when disputes occur, a once positive environment can quickly turn sour. Antunes Lawyers can resolve issues before things get out of hand.

If your club or association is currently dealing with conflict, our experienced team can step in to smooth things over and resolve Association Disputes.

Whenever people get together regularly, disputes naturally occur. Associations and clubs are no different and disputes can emerge when committee members vote to suspend or expel a member, when members are concerned about the actions of the committee, or when personalities collide. Although disputes can often stem from initially trivial matters, the legal ramifications of poorly managed disputes can be incredibly serious.

Our lawyers can ensure that disputes are handled with care, that unintended legal consequences (like defamation cases) aren’t triggered, advise you on proper procedures, mediate negotiations, and ensure a positive outcome.
