Civil Litigation Lawyers, Townsville & Mount Isa

Civil Litigation – Strategic Support for Legal Diputes

Not all disputes are commercial. Sometimes, litigation involves personal rights, property, obligations, or community conflict. These matters are often high-stakes, stressful, and unfamiliar—and they require not just legal skill, but structure and strategy.

At Cohen Legal, we represent individuals, businesses, and organisations across Townsville, Mount Isa, and regional Queensland in a wide range of civil disputes. Whether you’re bringing a claim or defending one, we help you understand the legal framework, the risks, and the path forward.

Our goal is always to help you move through conflict with clarity and control.

Contractual Disputes

Building contracts, leases, partnerships, guarantees, loan agreements and sale contracts — not every agreement is legally binding. We’ll review your position and advise whether your contract can be enforced under Queensland law, and how best to resolve the dispute.

Debt Recovery

Still chasing money well beyond your trading terms? Or being pursued for payment you don’t believe is owed? Our team acts swiftly to recover debts or defend claims, using the most effective recovery and enforcement options available.

Leasing Disputes

Lease disputes can involve notices to remedy breach, relief against forfeiture, or landlord lockouts. We represent both landlords and tenants across North Queensland to resolve issues quickly and effectively.

Body Corporate Disputes

Strata disputes involving by-laws, meetings, or financial management are often complex. Our experience with QCAT and the Body Corporate Commissioner means we can guide you through the process with confidence.

Will & Estate Disputes

Contesting a Will or dealing with a claim against an estate requires both legal precision and sensitivity. We assist executors, beneficiaries and claimants in navigating the process and resolving disputes.

Workplace Disputes

Employment disagreements can be disruptive for both employers and employees. We assist with workplace dispute resolution, award compliance and employment contracts, aiming for outcomes that are fair and sustainable.
