Civil Litigation Solicitors London

From SLchambers wembley

Civil Litigation is a legal dispute or other matter involving you and someone else, which does not involve criminal action/prosecution.

Civil law therefore deals with the rights and duties of an individual towards another and how someone's actions can impede on the rights of another, actions are brought by a claimant and against a defendant. In general the burden of proof is upon the claimant who must prove their case ''on the balance of probabilities''.

Actions in a civil case are usually decided in either a County Court or High Court. There is usually a lower burden of proof than that within a criminal case. However it is not uncommon for a civil case to be settled without the need to proceed with court action which determines the matter to be settled expeditiously with minimal costs.

Our experienced solicitor Mrs Parveen Gupta is highly experienced in her field and is assisted by our principal solicitor, Mr Manzoor Ahmad Shah. We cover a comprehensive range of County Court and High Court claims and defences. However we realise that the court process is lengthy and very costly and we often have more creative and less expensive ways of resolving disputes.

 We represent companies, partnerships, sole traders, other organizations and individuals at trials, hearings, arbitrations and mediations before administrative agencies, foreign tribunals and local courts.

We take pride in the quality of the work and assistance we provide and this is demonstrated by our very high success rates achieved in cases that we take on.

The following are examples of work which we deal with:
