Litigation is a legal process designed to resolve disputes by presenting them before the court. When parties that are involved in a conflict cannot reach a mutual agreement that will bring a fair and just resolution to their dispute, they turn to the judicial system. This could involve contract disputes, landlord and tenant disputes, professional negligence or neighbour and boundary disputes.
The decision to hire a litigation lawyer depends on the nature of your situation. While not every dispute or legal matter requires legal representation, there are instances where seeking the assistance of a litigation solicitor can be highly beneficial to you.
A solicitor can explain the law in a clear way and apply it to your specific case, ensuring you understand your rights and obligations. Since litigation lawyers are always analysing the law and handling different types of cases, they build up vast knowledge and experience. Expert litigators will also understand the legal processes and nuances much better than anyone else.
Solicitors offer proactive and pragmatic advice tailored to your specific circumstances. Their expertise can help you avoid potential pitfalls that can cost you financially and will guide you in making informed decisions.
While some may view legal representation as a last resort, involving a solicitor early in the process can often save you money and stress in the long run. Early intervention allows for effective resolution and can prevent issues from escalating.
In situations where compromise is challenging, litigation lawyers can provide arbitration services, attempting to reach an agreement on your behalf before resorting to formal court proceedings.
Remember that each case is unique, and consulting with a litigation solicitor can help you assess whether legal representation is necessary for your specific situation.
Our litigation solicitors have extensive experience in all kinds of disputes and aim to assist with a quick resolution often without the need for a formal court procedure.
We can help you in the following litigation areas:
Breaches of contract, such as delivery of defective goods or failure to make timely payments, often trigger disputes and can escalate to litigation. Proactive measures, such as clear contract drafting and adherence to obligations, can help mitigate the risk of disputes reaching the litigation stage.
Whether it's a breach of contract or a disagreement over contractual terms, a solicitor can provide expert advice and represent your interests in court.

What is the difference between litigation and court?
Litigation is the legal process designed to resolve legal disputes, whereas court is usually where you go to settle the dispute once the litigation process has begun. Not all disputes go to court, but when people talk about litigation, this refers to going to court.
What is the main difference between mediation and litigation?
Litigation is the act of taking a dispute to court, whereas mediation is where you try to resolve a legal dispute amicably between the parties without having to go to court.
In litigation proceedings, usually, the court decides what the outcome of the case is based on the evidence presented and the applicable laws involved. In mediation, the parties have a chance to talk through the settlement options or find a way of resolving the matter between themselves.
Is dispute and litigation the same?
No, a dispute is a matter that is being contested, whether it is a neighbour boundary dispute, a problem with a contract, faulty goods or a Will dispute. The dispute is an issue or argument that can be resolved through the law. On the other hand, litigation is the process of taking the dispute to court. Litigation is the method of resolving the dispute.
