Litigation solicitor

Our litigation solicitors are instructed by their clients to perform two main tasks: to advise them at every stage of the proceedings and to represent them before the national courts. Drawing on their experience, they bring an objective perspective to the situation and develop a strategy using their technical and legal expertise. During the pre-litigation phase, it is necessary to engage a litigation solicitor. Our specialist solicitors act as regulators and do everything possible to prevent potential disputes.

What is a litigation solicitor ?

When an amicable agreement has failed in a dispute between several parties, the litigation solicitor intervenes to defend the case before the competent courts. They support their client from the start of the proceedings through to the enforcement of the judgment.

Definition of litigation solicitor

Litigation solicitors intervene when their clients wish to initiate legal proceedings or when they are being sued. In all cases, they support their clients at every stage of the proceedings.

FAQ

Comment se passe un contentieux ?
Un contentieux se déroule en quatre étapes successives. Tout d’abord l’avocat analyse la situation qui lui est présentée et prépare le dossier à l’aide des informations données par son client. Puis, il défend les intérêts de son client lors de l’audience et attend la décision de justice. Enfin, il peut contester la décision de justice si cela ne nuit pas aux intérêts de son client.
Quand est-il nécessaire d'engager un avocat en contentieux ?
Même lorsque la procédure ne l’exige pas, il est conseillé de prendre un avocat. En effet, cela permet de mettre sur un pied d’égalité la justice et le justiciable sur la connaissance de la procédure et des règles de droit applicables. Il va intervenir devant les instances en respectant les conditions d’action et les délais nécessaires pour saisir un juge.
Peut-on se représenter soi-même devant les tribunaux ?
Lorsque la procédure le permet, l’avocat n’est pas obligatoire. Il est alors possible de se représenter soi-même devant les tribunaux. Mais, cela n’est pas sans risques. Il peut y avoir des enjeux juridiques importants face à un dépassement de délai ou à une non-conformité d’un acte de procédure. Pour éviter de se retrouver dans une position difficile lors de votre processus judiciaire, il est préférable de faire appel à un avocat spécialisé dans ce domaine.
