On Wednesday, 11th June 2025, Ku-ring-gai business owners gathered at The Sawmill, West Pymble, for an engaging and practical seminar, From Dispute to Resolution: A Strategic Guide to Effective Litigation.
Presented by Raeshell Staltare, Principal Lawyer and CEO of Staltare Law, the session provided clear and actionable insights into the often-daunting world of litigation. Raeshell walked attendees through the key stages of the litigation process, offering strategies to resolve disputes more effectively and avoid common pitfalls. She highlighted the importance of considering negotiation and mediation before heading to court and shared advice on managing legal costs—a critical concern for small and medium businesses.
Beyond the legal knowledge, the event reinforced the value of being proactive. Even if business owners are not currently facing disputes, having a strong understanding of the process means they are better prepared should challenges arise.
As with all Chamber events, the evening also offered valuable networking opportunities. Local business owners and professionals connected, exchanged ideas, and strengthened ties within the Ku-ring-gai business community.
Raeshell’s extensive expertise—spanning commercial contracts, intellectual property, cyber, and media law—made for a session that was both informative and highly relevant.
