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.

A client hadn't paid our services and we were unable to make any contact with them as they were ignoring all our communications. Using Feakes and Co, with one email, the client instantly contacted us and paid their bill promptly. We are so impressed and grateful with the service.
