Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Litigation is generally thought of as the process of resolving rights-based disputes through the court system, from filing a law suit through arguments on legal motions, a discovery phase involving formal exchange of information, courtroom trial and appeal. Litigation also encompasses administrative or regulatory processes for establishing legal rights and resolving disputes. Even if you do not plan to be a litigator, some familiarity with the litigation process will help you advise clients on how best to avoid disputes regarding legal rights.
