Litigation & Representation

Litigation & representation are things you hope you'll never have to worry about in your life, but when the unexpected happens, you'll need a good solicitor to handle your case.

Browser our online network of UK solicitors who have specialist knowledge in the following areas and more;

Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation is the name given to a legal dispute usually involving money and can involve attending your local court.

Civil litigation lawyers deal with compensation claims between two or more parties which can become complex if there are claims and counter-claims involved.

Civil laws are often used as a last resort to settle financial disputes between companies who feel they've lost out in some way when dealing with the other business or person involved.

Clinical Negligence

Clinical negligence or medical negligence cases involve a series of legal hurdles for you to overcome before your case will be heard in court.

First of all, your solicitor will examine your medical records and paperwork to assess whether the care you received (on the balance of probabilities) was negligent in some way and directly contributed to your subsequent illness or injury.

If you're thinking of pursuing a clinical negligence claim, it's best to get advice from our network of UK solicitors to let them assess your individual circumstances and decide whether or not you're claim is worth pursuing.

Criminal Compensation Laws

Criminal compensation laws are there to protect and compensate the victims of crime. For example, if you've been tried and found guilty of a crime you didn't commit and then subsequently had your conviction quashed.

In case like this criminal compensation law will help you to be compensated for the loss of earnings, stress etc that your wrongful conviction has caused you and your family.

In recent years there have been a number of high profile criminal compensation cases like the scenario outlined above which have seen some people awarded significant financial damages.

Dispute Resolution & Mediation

Dispute resolution & mediation allows disagreeing parties the opportunity to try and settle their differences without having to go to court.

Mediation has many advantages over litigation, some of which are listed below;

Disputes can be resolved much more quickly
Mediation is less expensive than litigation
Mediation dates and times can be flexible to suit both parties
Mediation is voluntary so if you're unhappy you can stop the process

The mediator's job is not to impose a decision on either party, but to help broker a resolution that both sides are happy with so they can move on.

Defamation, Libel & Slander

There are two main types of defamation, these are known as libel and slander.

Libel laws are used when someone writes or broadcasts something which damages your reputation or makes people think badly of you or your business.

Slander involves the spoken word or gestures which has the same damaging effects as those mentioned above.

Personal Injury Compensation
