Disputes within and between Aboriginal organisations, Traditional Owner groups, or stakeholders to a native title agreement can be complex and sensitive. MPS Law provides trusted, independent dispute resolution services—including legal support, facilitation, and mediation—to help resolve matters in a fair, culturally appropriate, and legally sound manner.
- Native title dispute resolution, including intra-Indigenous conflict, overlapping claims, and disputes over the interpretation or implementation of native title agreements.
- Independent native title dispute resolution services that respect cultural protocols and support lasting, legally robust outcomes.
- Facilitation and mediation for First Nations agreements, such as Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs), benefit-sharing arrangements, and partnership negotiations with industry and government.
- Support for Aboriginal corporations under special administration, including governance disputes, compliance failures, or conflicts between members and boards.
- Capacity-building and preventative governance strategies to reduce the likelihood of future disputes.
Disputes can distract from the important work of self-determination and community development. MPS Law helps clients address conflict early and constructively. We act as legal advisors, independent facilitators, or trusted intermediaries depending on the situation’s needs.
Our work is grounded in the belief that meaningful resolution can strengthen—not fracture—organisations and relationships.
