Civil litigation is a broad area of law covering disputes between individuals, businesses, or organisations that are resolved through the court system. Whether you are bringing a claim (claimant) or defending one (defendant), understanding the scope of civil litigation services available can be vital to protecting your rights and achieving the best possible outcome.
At our firm, we provide comprehensive civil litigation services across a wide range of disputes. Here’s a detailed look at the types of cases we handle.
1. Business Disputes
From breach of contract to shareholder disagreements, business disputes can be costly and disruptive. We work to resolve matters efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or court proceedings, ensuring minimal impact on your operations.
2. Defamation
Protecting your reputation is essential. We represent individuals and businesses in libel (written defamation) and slander (spoken defamation) cases, pursuing damages or defending against unjust claims.
3. Construction Disputes
Building projects often involve complex contracts and multiple stakeholders. Our team advises on disputes over delays, defective work, or payment issues, aiming for resolution without costly litigation where possible.
4. Discrimination Claims
We act for both claimants and defendants in cases involving discrimination in the workplace, housing, or service provision. Our expertise covers discrimination based on race, gender, disability, religion, and more.
5. Debt Recovery
Unpaid debts can seriously impact cash flow. We offer strategic debt recovery solutions, from formal letters before action to issuing court proceedings and enforcing judgments.
6. Financial Claims Against Directors
When directors breach their duties, the financial consequences can be significant. We assist in claims involving mismanagement, wrongful trading, and breach of fiduciary duty.
7. Landlord and Tenant Disputes
Our services cover issues such as rent arrears, eviction proceedings, repair disputes, and breaches of tenancy agreements, representing both landlords and tenants.
8. Partnership Disputes
We provide legal guidance in disputes between business partners, including disagreements over profit sharing, decision-making, or dissolution of the partnership.
9. Professional Negligence
When professionals fail to meet the required standard of care — whether they are solicitors, accountants, architects, or surveyors — we pursue or defend negligence claims on behalf of our clients.
10. Privacy
In an increasingly digital world, protecting personal and corporate privacy is crucial. We handle cases involving data breaches, misuse of personal information, and unauthorised publication of private material.
