Litigation
Litigation is the process of taking a dispute to court, whether you're enforcing a claim or defending one. The South African court system is complex, and navigating it properly takes specialist knowledge.
When someone is accused of breaking a law or committing a crime, the state charges them in a criminal case. When one person wants to enforce a claim against another, that's civil litigation. Evictions, debt collection and Road Accident Fund claims all fall into this category.
Since the days of Roman law, proper litigation has always required an expert approach. A litigation attorney understands the rules of the various courts and legal forums, and knows how to use them to your advantage.
