Claims and Disputes Litigation covers civil disputes between businesses or organisations, including contract, tort, property, and commercial disputes pursued through the courts. A solicitor in this area drafts pleadings and statements of case, assembles evidence, negotiates settlements, and, if needed, represents the client in hearings, trials, or appeals in courts such as the High Court and County Courts. They also oversee disclosure, expert evidence, and enforcement of judgments, guiding clients through procedural steps under the Civil Procedure Rules. The work often hinges on deadlines and precise documentation.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the complex procedural steps, including preparing statements of case, allocating cases, managing disclosure and expert evidence, and navigating the courts’ timetable and rules to secure a favourable outcome. They coordinate with barristers, assess risk, and respond to opponent’s tactics within the framework of the Civil Procedure Rules and court practice directions.
