Asset Protection

If you have had an accident that was someone else’ fault, then an experienced solicitor from Gibson & Associates can give you the advice and support you need to claim compensation.

Insolvency

If you’re facing personal insolvency, you’ll most likely be feeling upset, stressed and very anxious. Let us assure you that you’re not alone. Due to the recent economic problems, many people across Ireland are going through, and have gone through, the same thing. We can help you, just as we’ve helped many of them.

Bankruptcy

If you’ve found yourself in a position where you’re unable to repay both secured and unsecured debts of €20,000 or more, bankruptcy may be your best option.

Avoiding Bankruptcy

Many people interpret insolvency in the exact same way as bankruptcy, and while it is true that they can go hand-in-hand, they don’t have to.

Declaring Bankruptcy

If you’re considering declaring Bankruptcy in Ireland, there is understandably a lot of research to do to ensure you have fully understood the process, the repercussions and any alternatives that might better suit you.

Defending Bankruptcy Charges

Falling into financial trouble doesn’t always leave a debtor in the position to arrange debt repayments themselves. In certain situations, one or more of the people or organsations that are owed money can apply to have a debtor made bankrupt, even if the debtor doesn’t want them to.

Litigation FAQ's

1. What does litigation mean?

Litigation is the formal legal process used to resolve disputes through the Irish courts when agreement cannot be reached privately. It involves issuing proceedings, exchanging evidence, attending court, and receiving a judge’s decision. Gibson & Associates LLP guides clients through each stage with clear advice.

2. What are the typical costs for a personal injury claim in Ireland?

Many personal injury claims operate on a “no win, no fee” basis, meaning legal fees are usually payable only if the case succeeds. Costs depend on complexity, medical reports, and whether the case goes to court. We explain all potential costs clearly from the outset.

3. How do I find a solicitor specialising in commercial disputes in Dublin?

You can search professional directories such as the Law Society of Ireland, review firm websites, or seek business recommendations. Gibson & Associates LLP has proven experience in commercial disputes and court litigation.

4. How do I file a civil litigation claim using government e-services?

Civil claims can be filed online through the Courts Service of Ireland e-filing system. Claims must use the correct forms, pay the relevant fees, and be properly served. Gibson & Associates LLP can manage this process to ensure compliance.

5. Where can I find Irish legal aid services for civil cases?

Civil legal aid is provided by the Legal Aid Board, subject to financial eligibility and case type. If legal aid is unavailable, alternative funding and representation options can be explored. Gibson & Associates LLP can assist in finding alternative options for representation.

6. What are the average timelines for a High Court civil action?

A High Court civil case may take one to several years, depending on complexity, expert evidence, and whether settlement is reached. Early resolution can significantly reduce timelines. Gibson & Associates LLP works to move cases efficiently and encourage early resolutions when suitable.

7. How do I choose a barrister for a complex corporate litigation matter?

Your solicitor will typically recommend a barrister with relevant corporate litigation experience and strong advocacy skills. The right barrister is chosen based on the legal issues, court level, and complexity of the case. Gibson & Associates LLP works with leading barristers to achieve the best outcome for clients.

8. What is the process for mediation in a contractual dispute?

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where an independent mediator helps parties negotiate a settlement without court proceedings. It involves structured discussions aimed at reaching a mutually acceptable agreement. Gibson & Associates LLP is highly experienced in mediation to assist clients in achieving a favourable outcome.

9. How do I choose the right litigation solicitor in Ireland?

Look for experience in your type of dispute, clear communication, transparent fees, and a practical approach to resolving cases. Confidence and trust in your solicitor are essential. Contact Gibson & Associates LLP to learn more.

10. What should I ask a solicitor before starting litigation?

Ask about the strength of your case, likely outcomes, estimated costs, timelines, and whether alternatives such as mediation may be appropriate. Gibson & Associates LLP encourages open discussion to ensure all clients fully understand their options.
