What a solicitor handles in these matters
In complex disputes, solicitors handle the drafting of pleadings, disclosure or evidence requests, interlocutory applications, and managing multi-track litigation, including case strategy, timelines, and recurring court directions. They coordinate with experts, gather and organise evidence, and navigate procedural steps to keep the case on track and protect the client’s position if the matter proceeds to trial.
