How can a business lawyer in Parramatta help your company?
Engaging expert business lawyers in Parramatta early is the most effective way to avoid costly disputes. We aim to be the best commercial lawyers Parramatta businesses can rely on, with the same standard of representation you would expect from top-tier city firms. The most cost-effective legal advice is usually the advice you get before you sign. We identify risks in proposed arrangements, explain them in plain English, and suggest practical changes. When a problem arises, such as a customer who will not pay, a supplier who has not delivered or a falling-out between business owners, we assess your position quickly and recommend the most efficient way to resolve it.
Time limits matter. In NSW, an action founded on a contract (other than a deed) generally must be brought within six years from the date the cause of action first accrues (Limitation Act 1969 (NSW) s 14).
When should you contact top commercial law firms in Parramatta?
Before you sign a contract, lease, guarantee or loan that carries significant obligations.
When you are starting a business with others and need a shareholder or partnership agreement.
When your company receives a statutory demand. An application to set it aside must generally be made, and served with a supporting affidavit, within 21 days after the demand is served (Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) s 459G and s 9). See setting aside a statutory demand.
When you need urgent court orders, such as an injunction or a freezing order.
When you are served with court documents or a payment claim under the Security of Payment Act, where strict timeframes apply.
What does it cost to hire a commercial lawyer?
Fees for commercial matters are determined by the scope of work involved, and we issue a costs agreement before we commence any work, so you have full transparency from the start. For litigation, we will also explain the likely stages of the matter and the costs involved at each stage, so you can weigh the cost against the amount in dispute.
We offer a free 15-minute Express Consultation and a free 30-minute Initial Consultation, in person at our Marrickville office or by video.
Why choose Invictus Legal for commercial litigation in Parramatta?

The District Court's general jurisdictional limit is $1,250,000 (District Court Act 1973 (NSW) s 4). Larger and more complex matters are heard in the Supreme Court.

Frequently asked questions
What services do commercial lawyers offer small businesses?
Commercial lawyers draft and review contracts and terms of trade, prepare shareholder and partnership agreements, advise on loans and guarantees, recover debts, and act in commercial disputes and litigation.
How do I resolve a commercial contract dispute?
Most disputes start with a review of the contract and correspondence, followed by negotiation or a letter of demand. Mediation is often the next step. If the dispute cannot be resolved, proceedings can be started in the appropriate court. Contract claims generally must be brought within six years (Limitation Act 1969 (NSW) s 14).
Do I need a lawyer for a partnership or shareholder agreement?
It is strongly recommended. A well-drafted agreement sets out each owner's rights and responsibilities, how decisions are made, and what happens if someone wants to leave or a dispute arises.
How much does a commercial lawyer cost?
Fees for commercial matters are determined by the scope of work involved, and we issue a costs agreement before we commence any work, so you have full transparency from the start. Our 15-minute Express Consultation and 30-minute Initial Consultation are free.
Which court will hear my commercial dispute in Parramatta?
It depends on the amount claimed. The Local Court hears claims up to $100,000 (up to $20,000 in the Small Claims Division), and the District Court up to $1,250,000. Both sit at Parramatta. Larger claims go to the Supreme Court.
