What Is Civil Litigation?
Civil litigation is the legal process used to resolve disputes between two or more parties in court. These cases can involve a wide range of matters, including:
- Business and commercial disputes
- Real estate conflicts
- Breach of contract claims
- Property damage or loss
- Insurance coverage issues
- Employment and labor matters
- Partnership and shareholder disputes
- Tort claims (such as negligence, fraud, or defamation)
If you’re involved in a dispute that could lead to—or has already led to—legal action, working with an experienced civil litigation attorney is crucial to protect your rights and achieve the most favorable outcome.
