What these terms mean
Realistic timeframe

Urgent applications are heard within days; a typical file runs four to ten weeks.

Worth knowing
  • Time-zone gaps matter. We file with Australian venues in their business hours, not ours.

What we do not claim

We are an investigations firm, not a law firm and not a regulator. We do not provide legal advice, we do not guarantee recovery, and no timeframe on this page is a promise. Where court steps are needed, they are taken by instructing solicitors in the relevant jurisdiction, and every disbursement is quoted to you in writing beforehand.
