Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation

We specialise in civil litigation. It is the process used to resolve disputes when two or more parties such as private individuals, corporate entities, local authorities and government departments are in a legal disagreement. Such claims do not involve criminal accusations. Usually, the remedies sought by a party in civil claims include redress by way of monetary compensation, damages and/or orders from court for an act to be performed or not be undertaken.

Civil litigation normally involves court proceedings but alternative avenues of dispute resolution such as settlement negotiations, mediation and arbitration are also common. The process can start from a letter of demand and lead to commencement of court or tribunal proceedings against a party.
If you are wanting to commence a civil claim or are defending one, we will provide advice on practical legal strategies you should take. We will assist you in assessing and identifying the merit of your claim or defence, advise you on litigation costs, initiate and respond to claims, collate and present evidence, deal with the case management process, apply or respond to interlocutory applications and facilitate settlement discussions.
We can also determine the best trial strategy for you, conduct trials or hearings, prepare and conduct summary judgment applications, enforce court or tribunal judgments and settlement agreements.

We will assist you with our understanding of substantive civil law principles, court rules and procedures, knowledge of legal research techniques, use of alternative dispute resolution methods and negotiation skills to obtain best legal outcomes for you.
