    This area concerns defending civil claims in England and Wales, where a solicitor will respond to a claimant’s allegations, draft a defence, and gather evidence to challenge liability or damages. They review pleadings, manage disclosure, instruct and cross-examine witnesses, prepare for case management conferences, and negotiate settlements or pursue or resist interlocutory applications. The solicitor represents the client in court and at pre-trial steps, aiming to protect the client’s position and control the progression and costs of the claim.

    “The support we received from Ashtons in chasing up payment for some very overdue invoices was brilliant. Leah guided us through each step of the debt recovery process and took care of all the paperwork for us.
