Dispute resolution and Litigation FAQs

  • What is dispute resolution and litigation?

    Dispute resolution refers to the process of resolving legal conflicts between two or more parties without going to court. It can include methods such as negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques.

    Litigation refers to resolving disputes through the courts, by filing a claim and having a judge make the final decision.

  • What type of disputes can be resolved?

    Many kinds of disputes can be resolved through dispute resolution techniques, as well as litigation. These include contract disputes, business disputes, personal injury claims, employment conflicts, intellectual property matters, and more.

    At Setfords, our dispute resolution and litigation solicitors can assist you in resolving these kinds of disputes in a professional, cost effective way.

  • How long does dispute resolution / litigation take?

    The duration of the dispute resolution or litigation process depends on several factors, including the complexity of the case, how willing the parties are to cooperate, and the schedule of the Court. Timings can range from a few days for straightforward dispute resolution cases to several years for complex litigation disputes. 

  • Why should I consider dispute resolution rather than litigation?

    Dispute resolution and litigation are often assumed to be the same thing, but the truth is that they are separate and it is often advisable to try dispute resolution first before resorting to litigation. These methods are usually quicker and more cost effective. They are also generally considered to aid in preserving relationships, maintaining confidentiality, and avoidinng court, which can be time-consuming and costly. 

  • How much does dispute resolution cost?

    Costs associated with dispute resolution and litigation include solicitor’s fees, court filing fees, expert witness fees, document preparation costs, and potential penalties or damages. The costs can vary depending on the complexity of the case and how long it takes to resolve. Dispute resolution is usually far more cost effective compared to litigation in court.
