Basis of Obligation
The contract, transaction or event from which the claimed amount arises.
Before taking action, a serious legal assessment begins by identifying the basis of the claim, reviewing the available documents, and understanding the contractual and evidential position.
We receive initial review requests for high-value commercial and civil financial claims to understand the dispute and the key information required before considering an appropriate legal course.
For high-value claims, the existence of an amount said to be due is only part of the analysis. The review starts with the source of the obligation, the conditions for payment, the available evidence, and any potential defences or counterclaims.
Contracts, correspondence, invoices, acknowledgements, account statements, payment records and guarantees may all affect the assessment. The initial review therefore focuses on understanding the structure of the claim before any subsequent step is considered.
The contract, transaction or event from which the claimed amount arises.
When payment became due and any contractual conditions relevant to entitlement.
Contracts, invoices, correspondence, acknowledgements, statements and other available evidence.
Any objections, counterclaims, performance disputes or disagreement over the amount.
The capacity of each party and its relationship to the relevant obligation.
The information required to understand possible legal options without presuming an outcome.
At this stage, provide only the basic information needed to understand the request. Do not submit original documents or unnecessary confidential information through this form. Further information may be requested after the initial review.
These fields help provide an initial picture of the request. Submitting this form does not create a lawyer-client relationship or confirm acceptance of representation.
