What does a litigation lawyer do?

Civil litigation lawyers resolve disputes between people or businesses over money, contracts, property, and professional negligence, through negotiation, mediation, or a court trial.

Each province sets its own court rules and procedure, so how a claim proceeds and the limitation period for starting it depend on where you are.

How do you choose the right firm in St. John's?

Ask for a candid read on how strong your case is, the likely cost and timeline, and whether mediation or an early settlement is realistic, because there's often a cheaper path than a full trial.
