Litigation is the legal process for resolving disputes through the court system. While it can involve a trial, many matters settle before reaching court through strategic negotiation or mediation.
Common types of litigation include:
Debt collection and enforcement
Commercial and contract disputes
Property and real estate disputes
Construction and building disputes
Employment-related claims
Estate and will disputes
Business and partnership disagreements
Town planning and local government matters
