Litigation"Litigation is one way that people and companies resolve disputes arising out of an infinite variety of factual circumstances. While my goal is to help businesses and individuals avoid litigation, my experience helps me effectively protect their interests should the need arise."
What is Litigation?A controversy before a court or a 'lawsuit' is commonly referred to as 'litigation.' If it is not settled by agreement between the parties, it will eventually be heard and decided by a judge or jury in a court.
The term 'litigation' is sometimes used to distinguish lawsuits from alternative dispute resolution methods such as 'arbitration' in which a private arbitrator would make the decision, or 'mediation' which is a type of structured meeting with the parties and an independent third party who works to help them fashion an agreement among themselves.
