Aptum Legal is a boutique specialist in commercial and tax dispute resolution, established to challenge the accepted norms, practices and traditional behaviours in litigation. Aptum's innovative approach has seen the firm awarded Boutique Firm of the Year by Australasian Lawyer.
Aptum's litigation model is created by four foundational pillars:
1. Aptum focuses exclusively on commercial and tax disputes. A narrow focus creates excellence, and excluding front-end work eliminates conflicts that can exist in traditional models. Our specialist team includes a seasoned group of solicitors, barristers, a former judicial registrar of the Federal Court, business directors, and commercial experts with extensive commercial and taxation experience including at the ATO and Victorian Bar.
2. Aptum offers a range of scope and pricing options tailored to the needs of each client. We are leaders in value-based, fixed fee pricing in complex commercial disputes. Aptum's innovative pricing and funding options enables clients to more effectively manage risk and litigate with financial strength.
3. Aptum has a rigorous legal intelligence framework to assess the legal and commercial risk of each dispute. We conduct this process early to ensure our clients are armed to make informed decisions and be positioned for the best possible outcomes. Our legal intelligence includes an analysis of the cause of action, the parties' interest, motivations, triggers and representation, the relevant case law and likely approach of the judicial officer.
4. Aptum has developed a bespoke project management framework, combining Agile, Lean and other traditional methodologies for an approach tailored to executing complex commercial and tax litigation. We apply this framework to every project, regardless of size or type, to ensure a consistent process for our clients that includes clear, documented strategy, routine communication and objectives we are accountable to.
Specialists in dispute resolution and experts in litigation, Aptum has offices in Melbourne and an established client base across Australia (excl. ACT).
