What is Civil Litigation?

Civil Litigation covers an extensive range of legal disputes between two or more parties. Civil litigation is used to resolve non-criminal disputes.

 

Civil litigation lawyers aim to resolve disputes which could involve landlord and tenants, breach of contracts, employment issues, neighbour disputes as well as contesting a Will just to name a few.

 

Lawyers or legal professionals who specialize in civil litigation are known as ‘litigators’.
