• Misleading and Deceptive Conduct
  False or misleading claims in advertising, contracts, or business dealings can quickly erode trust and lead to costly disputes. We advise clients on identifying misleading conduct, understanding their rights, and pursuing or defending claims under the ACL.
  
  
• Unfair Practices
  Unfair contract terms, aggressive sales tactics, or unconscionable conduct can leave consumers and small businesses exposed. Coral Coast Law provides advice on remedies available under the ACL and assists in resolving disputes with suppliers, service providers, or competitors.
  
  
• Consumer Rights
  When goods or services fail to meet consumer guarantees — such as acceptable quality, fitness for purpose, or accurate description — disputes can arise. We help clients enforce their rights, negotiate outcomes, and, where necessary, pursue claims through the appropriate tribunal or court.
