What is Civil Litigation?

This area of law revolves around the resolution of disputes. The disputes can be between individuals, families or commercial organisations.

Civil litigation is a legal dispute where one party is seeking money damages or specific performance rather than criminal sanctions.

Whether you are a business or an individual unfortunately disputes do arise and debts remain unpaid.

The Civil Procedure Rules allow an opportunity for resolving disputes without going to court. If court proceedings have to be issued our solicitors competently and systematically deal with the considerable paper work and procedural issues within the Litigation process to bring the case to trial whilst always looking for ways to strengthen the case both evidentially and tactically as well as negotiating; thinking laterally to explore avenues to resolve the case, narrow the issues or avoid a costly trial.
