Civil Litigation FAQ
Find answers to common questions about civil litigation matters in Australia.
Civil litigation is the process of resolving non-criminal disputes through the court system. It covers contract disputes, property claims, negligence, defamation, and other matters where one party seeks compensation or specific orders against another.
These are general ranges. Your actual fee depends on the firm and your specific matter. Costs vary greatly depending on complexity. Simple disputes may cost $10,000-$30,000, while complex commercial litigation can exceed $100,000-$500,000+. Many litigators offer initial consultations to assess costs and options.
Most civil claims have a 6-year limitation period from when the cause of action arose. However, personal injury claims typically have 3 years, and some claims have shorter periods. The partner firm can confirm the applicable timing at intake.
Courts may order the losing party to pay a portion of the winner's legal costs, typically 50-70%. However, full recovery is rare, and there's always a risk of paying the other side's costs if you lose.

Customer reviews
“Going through a separation, I found LawyerLink late one Sunday night via Google. Sent through my details not expecting much that quickly. Got a callback by mid-morning Monday from one of the lawyers, who took the time to listen before launching into advice. What I appreciated most was that no one tried to upsell me or push me into a retainer on the spot. Have already passed the website on to a friend going through something similar.”
“Needed urgent help with a driving matter that was going to court the following week. Used the chatbot late in the evening and had a lawyer ring me first thing the next morning. He worked through the situation with me calmly and gave me clear next steps. Felt much less alone going into the hearing.”
“Slipped at work, used the form, lawyer rang back same arvo. Job done.”
