Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Estate disputes commonly arise when individuals assert that they have been treated unfairly in a will or under the rules applicable when there is no will. These conflicts may also stem from questions regarding the proper execution of a will, its interpretation, the testator's understanding of the document they signed, and even suspicions of undue influence.

Do you have concerns about the possibility of your land or property being acquired by a government department or council?

In Queensland, the government has the power to resume land for public purposes, such as for building roads, railways or schools, and this process is known as land resumption. If your land is being resumed, you have the right to be compensated fairly for your loss.

Intellectual property is often one of a business’s most valuable assets. When disputes arise over ownership, use or infringement of intellectual property, the commercial and reputational consequences can be significant.

At Argon Law, we assist businesses, creators and rights holders to resolve intellectual property disputes in a clear, strategic and commercially focused way. Our aim is to protect your rights while minimising disruption to your business and helping you move forward with confidence.

We understand that intellectual property disputes are rarely just legal issues. They often involve ongoing business relationships, competitive pressures and brand reputation. Our advice is tailored to your broader commercial objectives, not just the dispute in isolation.

Legal interest in an asset refers to the formal, recognised rights over the property, which are enforceable by law. This might include ownership rights documented through titles or deeds.

Non-legal interests, on the other hand, often refer to beneficial or equitable interests. These might not be formally recognised by law but are acknowledged by parties involved, such as the right to benefit from the asset (like a family member living in a home owned by another family member) without holding the title. Understanding these differences is crucial in asset management and estate planning to ensure that all parties' rights and expectations are clearly defined and protected.
