we resolve disputes
Litigation refers to the process of resolving disputes or legal issues through the court system. It typically involves two or more parties who are in disagreement over a legal matter, such as a breach of contract, personal injury, or property rights.
The parties involved seek the ruling of a Magistrate or Judge who will make a decision based on the evidence presented and the applicable law.
Litigation can be a lengthy and expensive process, often requiring the services of attorneys, expert witnesses, and other legal practitioners. It typically involves a series of legal procedures, including the issuing of a summons or application, conducting discovery (the process of gathering evidence), participating in pre-trial conferences, and presenting evidence and arguments in Court.
Litigation is said to be an adversarial process but it can also be a means of resolving disputes in a fair and just manner, with the court system providing a neutral forum for parties to present their cases and have their grievances addressed.
Two of our directors, both litigation attorneys, have a combined experience of around 50 years between them dealing with the courts. It does not matter how complex a case may be, our attorneys have the necessary knowledge and experience to see a case through.
