Our Expertise
Key Expertise
Civil Litigation
We act swiftly and strategically to resolve matters through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, with a focus on achieving commercial outcomes.
Contractual & Debt Disputes
From unpaid invoices to complex breach-of-contract claims, we pursue or defend recovery actions in State and Federal Courts. Our team ensures deadlines are met, evidence preserved, and settlements reached on terms that make business sense.
Misrepresentation, Negligence & Misleading Conduct
We represent clients in disputes involving misleading and deceptive conduct, professional negligence, and breach of statutory duty under the Australian Consumer Law and Corporations Act. Our approach balances commercial pragmatism with reputational protection.
Partnership & Shareholder Disputes
Where breakdowns occur between business partners or shareholders, we advise on remedies including oppression actions, winding up, and settlement pathways that preserve underlying enterprise value.
Data Breach & Information Theft
EAGLEGATE acts in matters involving unauthorised access, data theft and privacy breaches. We coordinate urgent technical and legal responses, including search orders, preservation orders and recovery actions, to protect confidential information and limit damage. Learn more.

Injurious Falsehood Matters
EAGLEGATE acts for businesses and professionals in injurious falsehood and misleading publication disputes. We move quickly to stop false statements that cause financial loss, securing retractions, injunctions and damages to protect reputation and restore confidence.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Litigation is not always the end game. EAGLEGATE is experienced in mediation, expert determination, and arbitration, guiding clients through the process while maintaining readiness for court if resolution fails.
Approach
Our Approach
We begin by understanding your commercial goal — not just your legal position. Every dispute carries both business and reputational risk, so we map a path that protects what truly matters to you.
Our litigators assess evidence, procedure, and cost-effectiveness early, allowing us to shape strategy around the strengths of your case. We use the rules of court and the timing of each step to create leverage and encourage resolution, rather than unnecessary escalation.
Where resolution cannot be achieved, we run matters with precision. Our background in technology, data, and intellectual property allows us to understand complex technical evidence directly — reducing translation gaps and increasing efficiency throughout the process.
At every stage, you receive honest, strategic advice designed to achieve a commercial outcome faster and with greater certainty.
Injunctions
Urgent Injunctions
- Injunctions (interlocutory and final) to stop misuse of IP, confidential information, or deceptive marketing.
- Search & preservation orders to prevent data deletion and secure evidence.
- Freezing orders (Mareva) where there’s a risk assets will be dissipated.
- Pre-action disclosure style applications to unmask anonymous infringers (platforms, ISPs, hosts).
Time matters. If your issue is URGENT, call us. Early steps can change the entire trajectory of a dispute.
