An important decision in any litigation is the choice of the team to handle the case. Litigation is won or lost as the result of skills - the skills of each lawyer, and even support personnel.

Key Benefits

• Using Jacqdar's existing arrangements with large and medium sized law firms Australia wide, you gain the advantage of being treated like a tier one client with the costs savings.
• When clients are first sued or realize that they must sue, they feel pressed to select attorneys immediately.  They think that they only have a few days to "answer." Clients can obtain additional time to choose their team. They should take this time, unless an injunction is involved. In that case they must act with speed, but the choices become even more important to success. Jacqdar may be able to obtain extensions of time to answer through our own legal advisors, or cause a Defence to be filed and start the initial procedures. The client has more time to assemble the best team.
