Frequently Asked Questions
What is litigation?
Litigation is the process of resolving disputes through the court system. It involves legal proceedings where parties present their cases before a judge. Litigation is used for contract disputes, business conflicts, property issues and civil claims. Some disputes may be settled before trial through negotiation, mediation or other alternative dispute resolution methods.
What is the difference between mediation and litigation?
Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution process where a neutral third party helps negotiate a settlement. It is voluntary and often less costly than litigation. Litigation, on the other hand, involves court proceedings where a judge determines the outcome. Mediation can help resolve disputes efficiently, avoiding the time and expenses of a trial.
When should I seek legal advice for a dispute?
Legal advice should be sought as soon as a dispute arises to understand rights, obligations and possible solutions. Early legal intervention can help prevent escalation, protect interests and explore negotiation or mediation options before court proceedings become necessary. A litigation lawyer can assess the situation and provide guidance on the best approach.
How long does litigation take?
Litigation timeframes vary depending on the complexity of the case, court availability and whether the dispute is resolved before trial. Some cases settle quickly through negotiation, while others may take months or years if court proceedings are required. Seeking legal advice early can help determine the most efficient resolution strategy.
