A Small Firm Handling Large Cases

Rockliffs Solicitors and IP Lawyers, although a small team of lawyers, article clerks and personal assistants, have demonstrated over the years through numerous successful proceedings, that small firms have the ability to handle large cases.

Rockliffs utilises a "team approach" which has enabled the firm to develop a quality system of maximum flexibility and efficiency, which has enabled the firm to tackle many large cases, in varied areas of the law, including commercial and general litigation, personal injury and family law.

The Team Approach

The partners of Rockliffs have in-house training procedures in place to ensure all their solicitors, consultants, clerks and personal assistants are trained and updated with changes to the law in all required aspects.

The "team approach" which Rockliffs has implemented is based on the following concepts:

• A Managing Partner is appointed, who is responsible to identify the nature of the matter at hand, so that a management team can be assigned accordingly.
• A team of dedicated & experienced lawyers & paralegals are appointed whose primary objective is to provide the highest quality of service to the client.
• Paralegals undertake low-level legal tasks, research and court appearances under a partner's supervision, for specific aspects of any matters relevant to their expertise. Therefore, our professional costs are very reasonable.
• A team of experienced support staff are appointed, who undertake all word processing & document production.

Rockliffs strive to offer their clients the highest quality of service and attempt to understand the client's needs to ensure the desired result is achieved. By appointing a team to administer and handle the claim, clients of Rockliffs can be assured that not only are they receiving the appropriate level of assistance for their matter, the matter is conducted in the most cost efficient way.

Large claims Rockliffs have successfully acted on include:-

• Acting for a number of lodges, clubs, co-operatives and individuals in respect to commercial claims as a result of the Thredbo landslide;
• Litigation that was successfully conducted in the High Court of Australia.
• Large complicated family law cases involving complex commercial issues.
• Large criminal cases heard by jurors each of which exceeded six weeks in length brought by the authorities against Directors and managers for breaches of the Corporations Law, who were all successfully acquitted.
• Successful litigation against Directors of companies for insolvent trading.

We look forward to working with you in the future.
