Meet James O’Brien

Overview

As a member of the commercial litigation team, James has experience in a wide range of areas and is focused on helping clients achieve practical solutions to any disputes or issues that the clients may be encountering. With an emphasis being placed on the commerciality and cost effectiveness of the options available to his clients, James has obtained strong results for his clients, both in the courtroom and as a result of negotiated settlements.

James holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance), Bachelor of Laws and a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from Bond University. As a result of this background, James enjoys working on matters involving complex financial aspects and overarching business strategies. Prior to his admission to legal practice, James worked in commercial litigation in varying capacities and has welcomed opportunities to develop his skills through experience and continued learning opportunities.

Litigation and Dispute Resolution

James has been involved in a broad range of litigation matters. James’ matters have given James the opportunity to learn about many different businesses and industries and the key operational factors that affect the same, which James believes is a key element in determining the resolution of the relevant dispute that would best fit each client.

James’ litigation experience has had a particular emphasis on partnership and shareholder disputes which often involve complex relationship and industry factors that are required to be carefully considered when determining outcomes. Further, James has significant experience in matters involving alleged unauthorised distributions of funds from entities and the recovery of those distributions.

In running litigation matters to trial, James has developed skills in:

  • advising the client of the commercial aspects of the litigation and the impacts it has on the client’s business operations or personal life;
  • structuring the client’s case for efficient litigation and advising on case management issues;
  • attending mediation or other alternative dispute resolution conferences for the purpose of settling matters;
  • preparing the client’s case for trial, including advising of potential weaknesses and strengths of the case with reference to how the evidence may be presented to the Court.

James looks forward to working with clients, both new and old, into the future and continuing to obtain commercial results for those clients.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
