    This work covers civil disputes brought in the courts, from initial claims to trial and resolution. A solicitor in general litigation handles disputes between businesses or individuals across a wide range of topics, including contracts, negligence, property, and debt recovery. They draft statements of case, manage disclosure and evidence, negotiate settlements, issue and progress proceedings, and represent clients at hearings in the County Court, the High Court, or appellate fora. Practical handling depends on the nature of the dispute and the court involved.

    “We were very happy with the service Penny Stevens-White provided, the only feedback I would add is that where specialism / advice was required from other departments in DG, that it would be helpful to be able to involve them in discussions early on. As an example, our sale needed a transfer of the freehold from our neighbour's to the new buyer, a process which I knew would be delayed due to the their lack of engagement in this matter, so it would have been helpful to address this with litigation's involvement from early onset to understand impact and options. It would have saved a few week's of stress and last minute phone calls to see what we could do to resolve.”
