    Litigation covers disputes raised in court, from pre‑action advice to final resolution. A solicitor in this area drafts pleadings, statements of case and bundles, manages evidence and disclosure, and coordinates with barristers for hearings and trials in courts such as the High Court and County Court. They negotiate settlements, apply for interim orders, and handle enforcement or appeals, always keeping clients informed of procedural steps and potential outcomes.

    “We have now engaged Kira Halliday of Sweeney Miller Solicitors in Sunderland, twice. Both issues were (one in particular, unusual and complex). We found that Ms Halliday is a calming, measured professional who is, easily contactable and very attentive. She is an excellent listener and one never has to repeat oneself. We have found her advice to be reliable and well considered and we would rate her attitude to her clients extremely highly. The first case, in particular, was a very atypical one and we found Kira to be at ease with dealing with a highly unusual set of cirumcaramces.”

    “The team at Poole Alcock have shown a high degree of professional with my case. Lisa Ball has shown a very strong interest and determination to succeed and giving 5 stars is a bit of an insult, as it should be 10 stars, plus.”
