But if you decide to fight, you’ll have our team of solicitors on your side. They have the experience, expertise and resources you’ll need. You’ll also have our reputation to help you. We are Sydney’s most fearless litigators.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a case in the Small Claims Division of NSW or the High Court of Australia. We handle small claims as well as large ones. Our focus is always on delivering the best commercial outcome for our clients.

Our litigation services

Our services are available to individuals, small to medium-sized businesses and large corporations. We can help you through the entire litigation process, whether you’re the plaintiff or the defendant.

We can:

Help you to complete, file and issue your statement of claim form.
Help you to defend a statement of claim made against you.
Negotiating with the other party on your behalf.
Represent you in court if necessary.
Help you to gain a judgement in your favour.
Appeal court orders if necessary.

What is a statement of claim?

This is a legal document that commences the legal process. It’s best if it’s prepared by a litigation expert like us. It needs to contain key facts that will help you win your case. These include:

The names of the parties in the dispute.
The name of the plaintiff and their lawyer (if any).
Details of the dispute, including facts that support the plaintiff’s claim.

What should you do if you receive a statement of claim?

If you want to defend the claim, seek our expert legal advice as soon as possible. Some people choose to defend themselves, but we strongly advise against it. If you lose your case due to a lack of legal knowledge, you’ll be further out of pocket. We’ll achieve the best possible resolution for you.

But we’ll fight for you every step of the way. We’ll always act in your best interests and we have a proven approach to debt recovery.

What happens in court proceedings?

Our experts will be thoroughly prepared to argue your case in court. We’ll also present evidence and statements to support your case. The magistrate will then make a legal ruling. This is a court order. Both the plaintiff and the defendant will then need to comply with this ruling.

However, the unsuccessful party in the case can choose to file an appeal against the court ruling. This appeal application must be made within 28 days. Whether the application is accepted will depend on the legal grounds for the appeal. It may be dismissed.

Legal costs

We have a range of flexible and innovative cost models available. The best one will depend on your specific legal matter and circumstances. We can tailor our litigation services to meet your needs.

It’s important to recognise that legal fees are an investment. They help to protect your business, your assets and your future. At times, it can be a costly experience. But our lawyers work hard to take the load off your back. We strive for the best result for you, at the lowest possible cost.

We’ll aim to ensure that most of your legal fees are paid by the other party in the dispute. We take great pride in achieving a successful outcome for you.

I recently needed the assistance of a conveyancer and sent a query to Unified Lawyers via their website. To my surprise, Dominic Nguyen telephoned me the following day. He answered all my queries and the next day I received an email from Dominic detailing the cost involved. I was extremely impressed with Dominic's professionalism and friendliness. He, together with Joyce Castro, were extremely helpful in preparing all the documents in a timely manner. They were approachable, very efficient and replied to queries immediately. I would have no hesitation in recommending Unified Lawyers to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Dominic and the team were acting for us for the purchase of a house in Annandale and also the sale of a unit in Camperdown. They were a pleasure to deal with on both occasions. We had a short settlement and they were extremely efficient, knowledgeable and responsive. Both transactions completed without a hitch. Would definitely recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again.

I needed to write an objection to a proposed Development Application that, if approved, would overlook my house both inside and out. Luckily I found Unified Lawyers and Dominic Nguyen. Time was of the essence since the deadline to object was imminent. I called for a quote, which was very reasonable. Dominic wrote a very detailed objection letter with legal points, drawings, and code violations, that I would never have been able to construct on my own. He also did it in a turnaround time of 2 days! I highly recommend Unified Lawyers as the service was excellent! Cyndi F. Newtown

I recently engaged Mark from unified lawyers to represent me in a civil matter. I had previously engaged a solicitor before finding unified who had simply taken advantage of my situation and was not at all competent. I was in a difficult position when I approached Mark I was dealing with an extremely complex matter which had been set for hearing in July and was due to exchange evidence with the defendants. Mark and his team were amazing. Mark was not only more than capable of dealing with the matter, he was transparent with everything he was doing at all times, understood and respected my need to keep costs to a minimum and was always available to me to discuss the matter or alleviate any pressure or stress. I only wish that I had engaged unified lawyers in the first instance as I know I could of avoided a great deal of unnecessary drama, delay and expense. I will continue to use the services of unified lawyers in the event that I have the need for any legal services in the future and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking the services of a legal professional in any capacity!

The team at unified lawyers were great, cannot recommend them enough. Dominic handled our initial enquiries and Marianela helped us once we exchanged contracts all the way to settlement.For first time home buyers it was so helpful to have someone available to explain and assist with forms and questions as well as proactively communicate to us.Will be coming back if and when we ever buy or sell a property.

We engaged with Unified Lawyers for the sale of our apartment in Dulwich Hill. We have worked with a few solicitors and these guys are the absolute BEST we have worked with - complete professionals with prompt reply to phone and email. They walked us through all the complicated documents and made it incredibly simple for us. Plus they are incredibly good value for money and we found very competitive in their pricing. I would recommend them again and again to family and friends.

My partner and I were extremely impressed and delighted with the level of service we received from Unified Lawyers during the recent purchase of our vacant block of land. We had previously used a CBD law firm to assist with the sale of our other property. After being disappointed with the service we received so decided to engage Unified Lawyers with our purchase. It was the best decision we made. Dominic and his team were with us every step of the way, available to answer any questions and address our concerns. The level of communication we had with them was great, they constantly kept us updated with the progress of the purchase during the settlement period. Also, with Dominic having a background in building and construction he was able to not only able to answer any questions we may have about the contract and the exchange, he was also able to advise on what to look for, and what questions to ask, when selecting a builder to build our house. Moving forward Unified Lawyers will be the only law firm we will trust to manage our legal affairs.

Dominic at Unified Lawyers is a fantastic member of my professional team in contract negotiations for commercial leasing. Both him and his partner Mark have been a continued pleasure to work with, which is one of the reasons we have continued to use their legal services since they first started.

Marianela is outstanding in her role. She went above and beyond to help my sister regarding the sale of her Marrickville property and the purchase of her new Dural property. We were extremely grateful for her help and advice. Marianela is fast and highly effective something we both appreciate. We would happily recommend Marianela to anyone and everyone.

Marianela (Nella) is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generousMy wife and I worked with Marianela to purchase our first home and really can’t say enough good things about her. She is very kind, knowledgeable, approachable, personable, endlessly patient, and incredibly generous with his time and above all, she is a very nice lady. She answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging but working with a professional like Nella made it as painless and straightforward as possible. There were lot of hiccups from vendor’s solicitor’s side and at some point, I was about to rescind the contract, however due to ample amount of support from Marianela, we worked through it. Although, our property buying experience was not good initially, due to delay in response from vendor’s solicitor, however Marianela did all the possible help to push from her side to make it happen. We highly recommend her for these reasons. As a first-time homebuyer, I was not familiar with the terminology or the best process people to involve. Right away Marianela was incredibly friendly and took time to sit down and explained us. Her communications and professionalism is highly appreciable. She was very helpful in explaining the entire process and really relieved our stress level even though we were on a very tight timeframe and a lot of other issues. Due to some delay in vendor’s solicitor’s side, Marianela helped us to extend the cooling off period, which helped us secure the deal. Marianela tried to resolve all outstanding issues and then follow up with vendor and vendor’s solicitor. It was a crazy ride, but we were able to buy a beautiful home. We could not have done this without Marianela, and She really took care of us well during the negotiation, closing, and even after closing the deal. I truly believe her expertise, and above all her all time helping nature helped tremendously in our offer getting accepted. I highly recommend Marianela. She is an asset to Unified Lawyers.

It was our first time buying a property. Searching for a property solicitor in Sydney via Google was not easy. It's either you search for the cheapest or the best. I chose the latter and finding the best property solicitors in Sydney was not hard to find. As soon as I saw the high rating and positive reviews, I did not hesitate to contact them. The entire process was made easy knowing that we were in good hands. Marianela and Dominic are very professional. We highly recommend them.

Please don't look any further and go for Unified Lawyers. From the moment I sent an enquiry and got a reply instantaneously, I knew I made the right choice. It was our first time buying a property (off the plan) and Marianela, the solicitor assigned to me, just exceeded my expectations. You can feel you are really looked after from successfully negotiating contract terms with the other party, explaining all the intricacies and risks of the contract and attending to my questions and requests all at a very prompt, professional and friendly manner. I could not be any happier with their service and be at ease knowing that I am in good hands from the start to settlement.

Marianela and Dominic have been been professional, friendly, knowledgeable and considerate throughout our whole settlement process. They have made it so much easier to go through the whole process considering my mum resides overseas. They would always reply to us promptly and answered all questions patiently. We couldn't have asked for better property lawyers to help us with this and are so glad we found them. Cannot thank them enough for helping with our property sales. Would highly recommend them!

Marianela was extremely helpful and kind during our recent property purchase. As first home buyers we had a lot of questions which were always quickly answered. All information provided was clear and easy to read, which was helpful given the overwhelming amount of documents to go through when buying. Knowing we had a good property lawyer on our side was one less thing to worry about during the process.

We are close to settlement. Regardless of the success or failure of this, Marianela has been beyond amazing throughout the entire process. She is prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. As this was our first off the plan property she was always willing to take the time to explain anything we didn't quite understand. She is so positive and always has a smile. Most of our dealing have been done over email and phone which made things very easy for us. Highly recommend Marianela and the team at Unified Lawyers.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Frances Maatouk from Unified Lawyers regarding our WILLS. Frances ensured that she had a clear understanding of our specific needs, offered us good advice and then delivered us with quality Wills, Power of Attorneys and Guardianships that were timely, well written and easy to understand. She is a competent and sharp young lawyer, is very professional, is knowledgeable and she has a very helpful and personable nature. We respect the advice Frances gave us and have highly recommended her to family and friends.

Frances has helped me put together my will and made it a smooth and easy experience, despite my initial worries that it'd be a daunting task. She was very reliable and patient, promptly answering my (many) questions and helping me turn my loose ideas into a valid and consistent legal document. All that at a very reasonable cost too. Highly recommended!

Thank you Marianela and Dominic for assisting my husband and I with the sale of our property and the purchase of another, and for ensuring the process went smoothly, especially when an issue arose during the sale of our property.

We have been long time clients of Unified. They are extremely professional, yet so friendly and down to earth. The service we have received has been wonderful and easy. Mark and Dominic have been our main point of contact, though recently we have discovered they have a wonderful Family Lawyer Frances, just such a pleasure to have meet and set up our family Wills. Great local business.
