Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is the method of resolving disputes or claims between individuals, companies, local authorities and government departments.
Generally such matters fall into two categories. One is based on a contract being an agreement between two or more parties and the other is based on a civil wrong caused by one party to another either deliberately or negligently. The range of disputes based on a contract can vary from the relatively minor case of the purchase of defective items such as an electric kettle to a multi-million pound claim arising as a result of penalty clauses in a building contract. Civil wrongs include cases of personal injury and damage to property and reputation. We can act for both Claimants and Defendants.
We specialise in personal injury claims arising out of road traffic incidents and industrial accidents, and in all forms of Dispute Resolution.
If you are involved in a dispute with another individual or company we can advise you on your chances of success and the possible value of your claim. We can negotiate on your behalf and if necessary commence or defend proceedings which, according to the subject matter and the amount of the claim, will be dealt with in either the County Court or the High Court. Alternative Dispute Resolution (Arbitration and Mediation) is also available. Various funding arrangements are also available.
