Litigation specialists
Understanding civil litigation
We appreciate the difficulties that a civil dispute can cause. Whether it’s with a supplier, such as a builder or tradesman, or with your landlord or tenant, civil disputes can be very stressful. Often, these disagreements are very close to home (actually involving your property in many cases) and may result in the threat or issue of court proceedings. The legal process for solving these disputes is called civil litigation, and that's where Brockbanks Solicitors comes in.
Our civil litigation team is here to ensure you get justice in your disputes, whatever the root cause. We are here to support you in the right manner and have an excellent track record in resolving disputes through mediation, negotiation and the courts, to limit friction and the duration of the dispute.
We build your case step by step
Clear guidance through civil litigation and dispute resolution
​Every matter involving civil litigation is organised around a clear review of the facts you provide and the documents connected to your situation. This allows us to establish what has already taken place and what information may still be needed before any action is taken. We then identify the most relevant legal framework and confirm what evidence will be important for your matter. At this stage, we also consider whether early dispute resolution routes could be appropriate depending on the nature of the issue and the parties involved.
​
Where appropriate, we may also highlight connected legal matters such as will writing, particularly where personal or family circumstances form part of the background to the dispute.

The advantage of working with a Cumbria solicitor
Working with a solicitor based in Cumbria gives you direct access to a team that is familiar with local expectations around communication, service standards, and how clients prefer to engage during a legal matter. At Brockbanks Solicitors, you benefit from having multiple office locations, making it easier to arrange meetings in a way that suits your routine and personal commitments. This flexibility is particularly helpful for clients who prefer in-person discussions rather than remote-only contact.
​
You will also have a consistent point of contact throughout your matter, ensuring you always know who to speak to without having to repeat your situation multiple times. This helps make communication simpler and more comfortable, especially during longer-running issues. If you need support or clarity at any stage, you can contact our team to arrange a direct conversation in Cumbria.
