Building Disputes
Whether you’re a homeowner or a contractor, building disputes can quickly escalate. We assist with defective work claims, unpaid invoices, delays, contract breaches and dealings with VCAT. Our goal is to resolve issues early through negotiation, but we’re fully equipped to represent you if formal proceedings become necessary.

Loan Agreements
Lending or borrowing money without a proper agreement can lead to serious problems down the track. We draft and review clear, enforceable loan agreements that protect your interests and reduce your risk. If repayment becomes an issue, we can also advise you on recovery options or defending a claim.

Contract Advice
Contracts are everywhere in personal and business life, but not all are created equal. We help you understand your rights and obligations before you sign—and identify any hidden risks. We also assist with enforcing, interpreting or disputing contracts if things go wrong.

Why Choose Grange Lawyers?
Based in Maribyrnong, we provide practical legal support for a wide range of civil matters, including disputes, contracts and debt recovery. Our approach is strategic, cost-effective and focused on early resolution. When court action is unavoidable, we advocate firmly to protect your rights and achieve the best possible outcome.

Contract Advice To Settle Any Doubts

At your appointment we’ll review the contract you’ve been given whether it’s for a property purchase, building works, business deal, service agreement or something else entirely. The solicitor will explain what each key clause means, identify any risks or unfair terms and give you clear advice about your rights and options.
We’ll also let you know what changes can realistically be negotiated and what to look out for before signing. If you’d like us to do the negotiating, we’ll begin preparing advice or proposed amendments straight away.

Loan Agreements – Clear And Secure

When you come in, we’ll ask about the loan – who it’s between, what it’s for and whether it involves interest, security or repayment conditions. The solicitor will then explain the best way to document the loan clearly and protect your position, whether you’re lending or borrowing.
We’ll talk you through the terms, what needs to be included and how the agreement will work in real life. You’ll also receive information about fees and any extra costs, like registering a caveat or mortgage. If you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll start drafting straight away.
