Frequently asked questions
What does a civil litigation solicitor do?
A civil litigation solicitor advises on disputes between parties, prepares claims or defences, manages evidence, handles negotiations and represents clients through court proceedings where needed.
Can legal costs be recovered in litigation?
In many cases the successful party may recover a proportion of its legal costs, although the exact position depends on the forum, conduct of the parties and outcome achieved.
Should I seek advice before issuing proceedings?
Yes. Early advice can clarify the merits of the claim, preserve important evidence and help you comply with the relevant pre-action obligations before formal proceedings begin.
