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.

What a solicitor handles in these matters

They draft defences and replies, coordinate disclosure, instruct experts, prepare witness statements, and present arguments at hearings. They handle case management trials, injunctions, disposal of preliminary issues, and settlement negotiations, ensuring compliance with CPR and court deadlines. The role requires strategic assessment of liability, damages, and costs exposure, along with proactive risk management to avoid adverse orders or unnecessary litigation length.

Daniel Couchman

Tagged solicitor Daniel Couchman

Superb advice and litigation options under extremely difficult circumstances on a disputed account. Very proactive at short notice in particular to find a replacement Barrister and Court at short notice. The opposite solicitor practice and clients were unprofessional in waiting until the last moment to serve a Winding Up Application leaving 2 days to act. The dispute as the Judge stated should not be in his Court, castigated their deliberate method of blackmail on a very solvent company.

During a sale, we had trouble with legal documents being delayed. Sara from litigation was incredible and pushed this swiftly to a favourable conclusion within days of coming on board. Thoroughly recommended.
