Gilbert + Tobin is built on enduring values of excellence, trust, respect, integrity and good corporate citizenship. We are a leading firm with over 500 lawyers, trusted by our clients to navigate today’s increasingly complex world.

We are purpose-built for our clients’ most complex work - across transactions, disputes and regulation. Our partners are leaders in their fields, delivering the highest quality of legal advice and providing an exceptional edge for our clients. They also provide our lawyers the opportunity to work with and learn from them. We are innovators in the use of technology, redefining value and service in the legal industry.

Our open, merit-based culture attracts and inspires the best legal talent. Founded in 1988, G+T’s journey has been one of relentless ambition and rapid progress, achieving extraordinary success in just over three decades.

We remain as determined as ever to be the best it’s possible to be.

Disputes and Investigations 

Our Disputes and Investigations team specialise in assisting clients to navigate significant and complex commercial or corporate disputes in a strategic way. With a focus on our client’s commercial imperatives, we assist to identify and manage risk by providing strategies for both prevention and resolution, including litigation, arbitration, or other dispute resolution mechanisms. Many of the cases we handle involve multiple parties and complex legal or factual issues.

Our Disputes team is comprised of dedicated and hard-working lawyers that function as a true meritocracy. We focus on tailoring development programs and career goals to the capability of individual lawyers, rather than their traditional PQE level. We assist on a broad range of work including corporate and commercial disputes, regulatory investigations, class actions, commissions and inquiries, corporate misconduct, and other general disputes.
