Kate Grafenauer

Kate has worked in the dispute resolution space for over 20 years, in various jurisdictions and across diverse industry groups.  During this time, she has seen the impact court proceedings can have on individuals and entities – stress, cost, delay and strain on business and personal relationships.

Conflict can be very unsettling, and court proceedings uncertain, but not all matters need to be litigated for the right outcome.  Kate is also a nationally accredited mediator, who understands the many factors impacting decisions that need to be made when you or your business is experiencing conflict.  Kate can guide you through your options to help you make the right decision. Kate is passionate about empowering her clients to explore creative solutions that have the potential to preserve ongoing business relationships that allow you to move forward with confidence.

Of course, sometimes your rights need to be enforced or you need to ensure obligations are met, and often this requires more formal steps.  Kate will explain your options and the process required and assist you to take whatever steps are needed towards the right outcome for you or your business.

Our Great Lawyer Guarantee

We want to be part of your team over the long term. We'll achieve this by sticking closely to the following principles:

  • We'll listen carefully to understand what you want to achieve. Then we'll thoroughly explain our advice and step you through the documents. You can be sure you'll know the full consequences.
  • Our lawyers work as a team, so someone will always be available to answer your questions, or point you in the right direction. You will also benefit from a range of perspectives and experience.
  • One of our key goals is to pass on as much knowledge as we can, so you can make your own informed decisions. We want to make you truly independent.
  • We only do what we're good at. You can be confident that we know what we're doing and won't pass on the cost of our learning.
  • For advice and documents, we provide a fixed or capped quote so you don’t take price risk. If you're in a dispute, we'll map out the process and costs so you know what to expect.
  • We're not in this game for our egos. We're in it for a front row seat to witness your success.

We measure our success on how efficiently we have facilitated your objectives, enhanced your relationships, and reduced the level of stress for all involved.
