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.
