Expertise

Ashva Legal advises and represents clients in three connected areas of practice: disputes, strata and debt.

Each draw on the same approach — direct advice from Shareena, plain English, an honest read on cost and risk, and resolution as the goal whenever it is possible.

Disputes

Disputes rarely turn on the law alone. They turn on what you can prove, what it costs to pursue, and what outcome you actually need. Ashva Legal advises businesses, directors, partners, and shareholders through commercial disputes — from early demand letters through to litigation.

Ashva Legal guides businesses, directors, partners, and shareholders through every stage of a commercial dispute — from early demand letters through to litigation, mediation, settlement conferences, and beyond. No unnecessary complexity — just plain English advice and a clear strategy to get you where you need to be.

Our Expertise

  • Contract disputes — breach, interpretation, enforcement

  • Shareholder and director disputes

  • Partnership disputes

  • Building and construction disputes

  • Recovery of debts and contractual sums

  • Joint venture disputes

  • Disputes with suppliers, customers, and contractors

How we work

We start with a confidential, obligation-free conversation to understand the situation. Where the matter can be resolved through correspondence, negotiation, or mediation, that path is tried first. Where formal proceedings are needed, Ashva Legal represents you through NCAT, the Local Court, or the higher courts.

Mediation is faster, costs a fraction of litigation, and puts the outcome in your hands — not a judge's. It is private, confidential, and on your terms.

Whether your mediation is arranged by us, another party, or by court order, Ashva Legal represents your interests and moves you toward the strongest possible outcome.

Strata

Strata living concentrates a lot of competing interests in a small space — financial, structural, behavioural — and disputes are common. Ashva Legal acts for all three of the parties most often caught in strata matters: lot owners, owners corporations, and strata managers.

Our Expertise

  • By-law drafting, enforcement, and disputes

  • Capital works and common property disputes

  • Special levy

  • Defects, repairs, and developer disputes

  • Building Management Committee disputes (mixed-use schemes)

  • Disputes between lot owners

  • Strata manager professional risk and conduct disputes

  • NCAT proceedings (NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal)

  • Court Proceedings

  • Change of unit entitlements

  • Strata subdivision

How we work

Practical advice, clear costs, and a real willingness to resolve before litigation. We're honest about whether a matter is worth running and what realistic outcomes look like at each stage.

Strata disputes can feel overwhelming — particularly when you live or work alongside the other party. Resolving them requires more than knowledge of the law — it requires understanding the dynamics at play and knowing which move to make. We help you cut through the noise and find the most practical path to resolution — whether that's negotiation, NCAT proceedings, or Court.

Debt

Financial disputes and insolvency matters move fast — and the decisions you make early can determine the outcome.

Whether you are chasing a debt that keeps getting ignored, facing demands you can't meet, or caught in the middle of a financial dispute, Ashva Legal helps you take back control. We get straight to what matters, tell you exactly where you stand, and map out your strongest moves — whether that's recovering your money, protecting your assets, or finding a way forward when the pressure is at its peak

  • Statutory demands and winding up applications

How we work

Insolvency and recovery matters are rarely just legal problems — they are financial and personal ones too. We understand the pressure. We know when to move fast, when to hold, and how to position you for the best possible outcome — whether that's recovering what you're owed, protecting your assets, or navigating a difficult financial situation with your interests intact.
