Litigation is the process of taking a dispute to a court of law. If parties cannot agree between themselves about the fair and proper outcome of a dispute they will need to present their respective cases to a court for its judgment. It is a broad term that describes a long and sometimes complex process.
When disputes arise, whether in your personal life or the course of business, taking legal action is sometimes a daunting but necessary step on the road to achieving a resolution.
A firm of highly skilled litigation solicitors have expertise across all areas of civil law. From breaches of contract to boundary disputes. They can advise and assist you through the litigation process from the early assessment of your case and considering your prospects of success, the implementation of any pre action protocols, to negotiations, to drafting claims and all other court documents and to guiding you through the Court process and timetables.

A civil litigation/commercial dispute resolution solicitor works to resolve disputes for their clients. These civil lawyers can help with the property owner and tenant concerns, neighbour disputes, accounts receivables, professional negligence, contract and agreement breaches, intellectual property challenges, and overall business disputes.
There is a wide range of cases which can be resolved using litigation. These can include:
When a client first seeks assistance from a solicitor, it is the solicitor’s responsibility to examine the claim and recommend a course of action.
To accomplish this, the solicitor must review all relevant documentation received from the client and form an opinion on the client’s chances of success.
The solicitor may tell the client that their claim is weak and that they should try to settle it as soon as feasible. Alternatively, the solicitor may say to the client that a claim filed against them is frivolous and that they have a strong defence.
Civil litigation/dispute resolution solicitors file court papers, handle discovery, and compose witness statements. They advise Counsel to attend the trial, prepare trial bundles, and all the court’s pre-and post-trial material necessary.
Civil litigation/dispute resolution lawyers regularly attend mediation and settlement discussions, in which all parties sit around a table and try to reach an agreement. Arbitration is another prominent form of Alternative Dispute Resolution, depending on the nature of the dispute.
Depending on the business, you may be able to undertake some advocacy by representing your client at interim court petitions, case management conferences, and pre-trial hearings.
The litigation lawyer will meet with the Counsel and the client to discuss the case and trial preparations. The solicitor has a dual-duty at the trial: they are there to aid the barrister if they have any questions about the case or need instructions, and they are also there to ensure that the client knows what is going on around them, as the court can be rather frightening for regular people.
