Practice areas

Case management that knows
what kind of matter it is

A bail application and a partition suit have nothing in common except a cause number. AdvocatePro applies a different set of checks to each — the provisions, the deadlines and the evidence that particular kind of matter turns on.

Practice area

Bail & Criminal Defence

A bail practice is a deadline practice. Custody periods run whether or not anyone is watching, listings move, and the difference between an application that works and one that does not is often a date somebody failed to diarise. AdvocatePro treats the calendar as the case.

Practice area

Matrimonial & Family

Family matters run long, sprawl across forums, and turn on documents produced years apart. One client can have a petition, a maintenance application, a DV proceeding and a quashing petition running at once, in different courts, on different dates. Keeping that in one head is the actual difficulty.

Practice area

Property Disputes

Property litigation is document litigation. The dispute is usually decided by a chain of instruments, whether they were registered, whether they were stamped, and whether somebody moved in time. The work is holding that chain together over years of adjournments.

Practice area

Money Recovery & Commercial

Recovery matters are decided early. Whether the suit qualifies as commercial, whether pre-institution mediation was complied with, whether the debt is admitted enough for a summary decree — these questions close the case long before evidence.

Practice area

Consumer Disputes

Consumer proceedings are meant to be quick, which means the preparation has to be complete on day one. Most complaints that fail do so on a threshold question — who counts as a consumer, which Commission has jurisdiction, and whether the claim came in time.

Practice area

Injunctions & Interim Relief

Interim relief is the part of litigation that moves fastest and matters most. An order made or refused in the first week frequently settles what the suit is worth. Everything depends on being ready before the other side is.

Practice area

Appeals & Revisions

An appellate practice is governed by two questions asked before the merits: does an appeal lie at all, and was it filed in time. Get either wrong and the argument never happens.
