Civil Courts in England cover non-criminal disputes heard in the County Courts and the High Court. A solicitor handles drafting and issuing statements of case, serving court papers, gathering and presenting evidence, instructing experts, negotiating settlements, and representing clients at hearings and trials or on interlocutory applications in the High Court or County Court. The work also includes applying for and responding to injunctions, enforcing judgments, and navigating the civil procedure rules that govern timelines and disclosures.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor manages complex procedural steps under the Civil Procedure Rules, including case management, disclosure and inspection, expert reports, witness statements, and multiple interlocutory applications, all of which determine whether the case proceeds to trial or settles earlier. They also coordinate with court staff, advocates, and opposing counsel to advance or defend the claim within set deadlines.
