msl | Michael Sing Lawyers

At msl, we offer an excellent team approach to commercial litigation issues.

Led by our Managing Partner, Michael Sing, the litigation team is focused on getting our clients the best possible result.

Our extensive experience obtained in conducting a wide range of complex commercial disputes, means that we are able to offer our clients informed, and realistic advice on strategies and prospects.

We understand that in some instances, a quickly negotiated settlement will save our clients valuable time and money, as well as business and personal reputation. Our approach to alternative dispute resolution via settlement conferences and mediation is one of comprehensive and realistic advice and thorough preparation of all of the key issues.

Our philosophy is to provide a legal service that quickly delivers a wide-ranging investigation and analysis of the issues and facts of a case, a thorough consideration of all of the legal issues, and the options and strategies available to successfully resolve the dispute in a way that meets our clients' needs and expectations.

Where that advice and strategy is to commence legal proceedings, then we move quickly and decisively to secure our clients' position. We do not shirk from long hours of preparation of a case to achieve results.

We are able to act speedily in cases of urgency to obtain injunctions to preserve property and evidence and to restrain its disposal or movement. We have an outstanding record of securing successful results for our clients by acting quickly in the first instance to secure their interests by injunctions.

For complex and larger damages claims, our approach is to engage specialist forensic accountants who are experienced in Court appearances to work with us and our clients to formulate and secure the evidence to prove such claims. Our team approach also means that we brief experienced barristers who we trust to deliver sound advice and representation in Courts, and who share our focus on obtaining results for our clients.

Our reputation is such that many law firms refer their clients' commercial and civil litigation matters to us to handle, recognising that we have the experience, resources and ability to successfully resolve the disputes.

O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors

Compliance with the Corporations Law is probably the most time consuming and non-productive obligation of the Directors of a company. O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors recommend that issues such as corporate governance and ASIC compliance should be undertaken with the assistance of your solicitor to create efficient methods to meet the requirements of the Corporations Law.

Director’s duties and liability under the Corporations Law have continued to expand and this appears to be an ongoing trend.  A regular “check up” with O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors ensures that you stay on top of your obligations. This is essential given the serious ramifications to you as a Director and indeed to your own personal assets.

O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors can assist in the formation, or restructuring, of any company structure you require.  We work with your accountant or financial advisors to obtain the best structure for you or your business enterprise. If you are new to the Gold Coast and don’t have an accountant, we would be happy to recommend one of the many competent chartered accountants we work with regularly.

We can also assist you with creating, bringing in a new partner or dissolving a business partnership. This is one area of law were getting it wrong can be very costly. O’Keefe Mahoney Bennett Solicitors will ensure that everything is taken care of and you are provided with comprehensive legal advice and assistance.
