Litigation is the process of taking a dispute to a court of law. In some cases, parties cannot agree between themselves about the fair and proper outcome of a dispute. If that is the case, a litigation solicitor will present your case to a court for its judgment.
Litigation solicitors are essentially lawyers. They deal with clients, take instructions from them, do necessary background work on cases, give preliminary advice to clients, obtain expert opinions, and instruct barristers if required. Solicitors prepare cases for trial; they may represent a client in court but will usually instruct a barrister to represent them in higher courts by sending the barrister a brief containing all the relevant information and documentation to assist them in presenting their client’s case.

A person who feels that a decision of a public authority, state bodies, has violated his or her rights may apply to the High Court for judicial review of the decision. The judicial review in Ireland courts are principally concerned about the manner in which the power has been exercised by the decision-making person or body rather than the decisions merit itself.
A Will or Probate process can become a contentious matter if it is challenged by a beneficiary or an individual who has been left out of an inheritance. People choose to challenge Wills, Trusts, or Estates for several reasons. Usually, it is because of concerns about Will’s validity or fears that the executor has acted negligently.

WHY WOULD YOU NEED A LITIGATION SOLICITOR?
According to the Law Society of Ireland Civil litigation and dispute resolution solicitors deal in civil disputes involving personal injury claims, property damage and contract disputes. They issue court proceedings and attend hearings, liaising with Counsel who advise on the appropriate course of action for their client. Civil litigation solicitors deal with disclosure and drafting witness statements, and all paperwork required by the courts throughout proceedings, from pre-trial preparation to delivery of judgment.
WHAT DOES A LITIGATION SOLICITOR/LAWYER DO?
In practice, resolving a dispute often requires a period of exploring the facts and figures and testing the strength of each side’s legal case. If the opposing side is unwilling to settle on terms the client will accept, the only recourse may be to proceed to trial. The preferred goal of a litigation solicitor/lawyer is always to resolve their client’s dispute through best possible outcome of that case.
WHAT ARE THE THREE DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS?
Disputes can be resolved without the expense and time of going to court. There are three methods commonly used to resolve disputes: negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.
IS DISPUTE AND LITIGATION THE SAME?
Litigation and Disputes are quite similar in meaning. However disputes, disagreements and legal actions can be resolved without going to court. But sometimes a legal action is necessary to resolve a dispute between two people or organizations. In these situations you may decide to engage in litigation.
