Commercial Disputes & Litigation
Consumer Law & Misleading Conduct Lawyers Melbourne
Melbourne advice on misleading conduct, consumer guarantees and Australian Consumer Law disputes for businesses and individuals.
Understanding Consumer Law & Misleading Conduct
Not every commercial dispute is purely contractual. Sometimes the real claim lies in misleading statements made before the deal, unfair conduct during the relationship, or statutory consumer rights that operate alongside the contract. The Australian Consumer Law can create strong remedies for businesses and individuals where conduct has caused loss or distorted the bargaining position.
Vitt Legal advises Melbourne clients on consumer law disputes involving misleading or deceptive conduct, false representations, consumer guarantees and unfair contract terms. We act for claimants and respondents and help determine whether the ACL should be the main claim, a supplementary claim or a defence issue in a broader commercial dispute.
What We Handle

We examine how the conduct affected the transaction and what compensation or other remedy is realistically available.
