CIVIL LITIGATION

–

If you are in a dispute with another person or organisation and thinking about taking legal action against them, it is necessary to have the support of experienced civil litigation lawyers.

If you have been misadvised by a professional, entered into a contract with another person who hasn’t upheld their side of the bargain or suffered an unjustified and malicious attack on your reputation, you may be legally entitled to claim a remedy, such as:

• Declaratory relief to affirm rights, duties or obligations
• Obtaining an injunction to either prevent someone from doing, or requiring them to do, something
• Compensation to recover losses

How you go about resolving a dispute and seeking a remedy, whether by pursuing civil litigation (the process for resolving a private law dispute through the courts) or an alternative method of dispute of resolution, will depend on the circumstances. You’ll need clear advice, given in plain English, to help you make a fully informed decision of the best way forward.

We will help you understand your options, both in terms of your chances of success and the costs involved should you decide to pursue litigation.

Case examples:

• Obtaining a world wide freezing injunction against a businessman for alleged fraud
• Defending an international credit union in a claim for damages over $50 million
• Obtaining compensation against a hospital for misdiagnosis
