We Are Leaders In Dispute Resolution
Niche Australian legal firm specialising in the resolution of sensitive and difficult matters. We get it.
About the firm
Altus knows that many lawyers fail in one of the most basic things that clients want – good communication. When we get a new client, we are often told that the client has left the old lawyer because of lack of good communication – which has been the number one fact leading to a lack of confidence in that lawyer in understanding their case, their options, and in managing the cost of their legal problem.
Transparency is at the core of our client relationships. Transparency in the way we communicate, transparency of costs, transparency of the challenges of any particular dispute. We are good at what we do and the transparency of all our dealings with ourclients ensures that we demystify the law and management of any dispute.
That is why, in 2019, we developed our online Dashboard. This is an innovation available to you 24 hours a day. The Dashboard:
- Is customisable for you. Just tell us what you want to know, and we’ll design it for you.;
- Sets out all the work we are doing for you, broken down into specific tasks;
- Shows you who is responsible for a task, and when we will deliver on these tasks;
- Provides the projected cost of a task and upcoming steps in your matter;
- Records the entire task history; and
- Presents the historical cost of the matter, including totals of projected cost.
