Frequently asked questions

Litigation is the process of taking legal action. Your litigator aims to expose weaknesses in the other side’s position to enter into, and progress through, negotiations and trial in an effective and advantageous manner.

  1. Investigation: The process typically starts with an investigation to ensure that your lawyer fully understands your situation and ensures that your legal position is sound.
  2. Pleading: Then, your lawyer will begin an initial pleading process through the written complaint that initiates the suit.
  3. Discovery: During the discovery process, your litigation lawyer will turn over relevant documents, answer questions, provide information to help develop a fuller understanding of the underlying facts
  4. Mediation: In most cases, mediation is the first step in resolving the case. This is when both parties are encouraged to meet in the presence of a mediator, to attempt to negotiate a settlement.
  5. Pre-trial motions: This is the step that precedes the trial and usually involves filing various motions and requesting a ruling from the judge.
  6. Trial: At trial, a barrister will take over the lawsuit from the solicitor. However, the solicitor’s role remains essential to assist the barrister in preparing for and conducting the trial.
  7. Appeal: After the trial results in an outcome, the losing party may appeal. An appeal is an argument alleging that the judge has incorrectly dismissed a particular claim or defence.

At Lazarus Legal, we pride ourselves on providing clients with transparent, flexible, and outcomes-based fees. Every litigation can require different time and effort.

Finding the right litigation lawyer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Your career, business and personal life will be greatly impacted by it. The right litigation lawyer is someone who not only has the experience and skill to get you the outcomes you need but someone with the best character and personality fit for you. The right lawyer is someone that will take the time to explain and simplify the complex processes and be there when you need them.

 Just because someone is a good lawyer, does not mean they will excel in litigation. Litigation is in a class of its own, requiring experience specifically in litigation and familiarity within the court you will be represented in. At Lazarus Legal, our litigation lawyers will guide you through the complexities of civil and commercial law and devise a strategy to tackle your dispute head-on. Our litigation lawyers have proven experience and results in a wide range of litigation areas. Equally important, our litigation lawyers ensure they take the time to help you understand and navigate through all the Latin phrases and complex jargon you’ll find in legal matters.

Barry Lazarus

CEO & Notary Public

barry@lazaruslegal.com.au 

We’d be lying if we told you that this bloke isn’t the big honcho of our team, but his name is a dead give-away. The founder of Lazarus Legal, Barry is an old school, tough as nails lawyer. They don’t forge litigators like this anymore.

With decades of experience in both Australia and South Africa, his wisdom is as renowned as his name. Back in the days when Schwarzenegger and Van Damme were kicking ass on VHS, Barry was kicking ass in the courtroom. And after all these years, he still has a reputation for refusing to back down.Barry is definitely the badass you’d want in a fight – in court or otherwise. But really, he’s a big softie. Just don’t let him know you know that (although he probably won’t read this anyway – navigating the Internet is not his strong point).

Aside from putting other lawyers in their place, taking long walks on the beach and spending time with his family, Barry enjoys seeing others succeed. Not only is Barry a staunch and unmoving litigator, he has sharp business and commercial acumen having started up ventures from scratch and growing them into full-blown franchises – from real estate to creating ice cream, to making pasta. With his experience on both sides of the commercial and legal equation, you want this guy to be on your side, whether you’re the next Zuckerberg realising your genius, or the next Zuckerberg taking on your opponents in court.

When Barry is not busy lawyering about, he is a part-time lawn bowler and a wannabe comedian, but never took both as a day job, because let’s face it, he’s a lot better at his day job.

If someone ever threatens you to lawyer up…relax, call Barry and he’ll handle the rest.

Mark Lazarus

Director

mark@lazaruslegal.com.au 

The visionary behind the business and the fresh blood of the Lazarus Legal team, Mark (or Laz as he is often known) owes much of his success to his past stories and experiences. And he’s made it his personal goal to bring that wisdom and formula to the firm.

He’s a bit of jet setter, splitting his time between Australia and the UK, maximising every hour of his professional life. He thrives on this adrenalin. It allowed him to work in private practice in Sydney, act for a host of famous celebrities in London, do a two year stint as a NSW barrister (and not the pretentious coffee type in the Melbourne laneways) and more recently did a gig as the Legal Director covering Europe, the Middle East and Africa for one of the world’s coolest fast-moving consumer good brands!  

As an Aussie and UK lawyer and former barrister, Mark not only has the gift of the gab but he’ll walk the walk to prove it too. He likes to think he’s a bit like Harvey Specter or Michael Corleone, the main difference is you can actually retain him as your lawyer and consigliere. He’ll tell you how it really is and will take on any challenge head on. Although litigation and court advocacy comes naturally to him, commercial and IP is what gets his blood pumping! 

When Mark is not out there doing his thing, you will probably catch him chilling at home with his family, on the sidelines of the soccer (football) pitch cheering on his two boys, crawling through mud obstacles, or training hard at the gym. Passion and commitment is what drives Mark to succeed, along with his burning desire to disrupt the legal profession by finding new ways to change the game.

He has sights on the future. So if you’re breaking new ground, ahead of the times, and on the verge of something big, but you need someone who’s got your back and who can give you straight up advice, this is the guy you will want on speed dial.
