Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is the term used for resolving civil disputes through the courts. These days, the courts expect parties to consider all options to resolve disputes and so regard court action as the last resort.
We will attempt to resolve your dispute by following the appropriate pre-action protocol, and if that does not resolve the matter, will make your claim (or put your defence) in court proceedings. If the matter goes to trial, although many do not reach that stage, we will engage on your behalf the appropriate barrister to present your case in court.
We handle a variety of disputes for individuals and businesses, including:
- contractual disputes
- professional negligence claims, including against financial advisers
- harassment claims under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, including claims against large organisations such as banks and utility companies.
- judicial review
- consumer claims
- debt recovery and insolvency
- landlord and tenant disputes
One of our areas of specialism is debt recovery.
