Alan Kornhauser is a very experienced lawyer.   This experience has been derived through over 25 years as a lawyer, including as a partner in a well known medium sized city law firm as well as a barrister for 9 years at the Victorian Bar.

He is admitted to practice in Victoria, Australia and in Federal jurisdictions.  He is able to practise in all Australian states.  

His experience, both as a barrister and solicitor, makes him suited towards dealing with a variety of complex issues.     His areas of practise are broad and he is able to read and understand financial documents.  

With a reputation for thoroughness and preparation of his cases on behalf of clients, Alan has extensive experience in handling cases, both large and small.  He views the keys in maximising the result by creating a team environment with the client, working together with the client to achieve a common goal.  In addition, there must be a thorough understanding of the facts and circumstances involved together with effective communication.  Simply put, your case is well prepared, presented and argued.

The Practice

And above all, he is client service oriented.  What you get is how he would like to be served if he was the client -

• Fast responses
• Accessibility
• Pro-activeness
• Advice in plain language with practical recommendations as to proposed actions
• Well thought out strategies based upon what are your goals
  
• Thorough preparation and research
  
• Cost effective service

Experienced in commercial, insurance, and building and construction litigation,Alan has been involved in major and some ground setting cases.   He also provides advices on commercial issues, including partnership law, franchising and general commercial agreements.    

• What are my client's goals?
• How can they be achieved in the most practical and cost effective manner?
• What is the best way to obtain the desired result, whether through negotiation, mediation or litigation?
• What is required to be done to ensure that my client's case is presented in the best possible way?
• If a problem arises in my client's business, is there a practical way to avoid or minimise the risk of such a problem arising again?

While no lawyer can guarantee what the result will be, certain things are clear.   Without doing the necessary groundwork in understanding what the dispute is about, what is required to be proven in evidence if it goes to court and considering what are the best tactics to try to obtain the best result possible, a client's prospects in a dispute will be reduced.

These philosophies govern how Alan Kornhauser practises law and clients can be assured that their case will receive the proper preparation and attention they deserve.
