    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.
