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.

Tagged solicitor Emma Wheelhouse

I would like to take the time to say thank you to Emma Wheelhouse and Thompsons for their hard work over the years and successfully winning my civil case. It’s been a long journey for myself but Thompsons and Emma wheelhouse and others worked extremely hard to bring my case to a conclusion. I personally would recommend Thompsons solicitors because they are so experienced in what they do. Many thanks. Stephen.
