FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does litigation take?

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Simple cases may resolve in 6-12 months. Complex commercial or real estate litigation can take 2-3 years or longer from filing to trial. Many cases settle before trial.

How much does litigation cost?

Costs vary significantly based on case complexity, trial length, and settlement timing. We provide cost estimates and discuss fee structures (hourly, flat fee for specific stages, or contingency where appropriate).

What are my chances of winning?

We provide realistic assessments based on legal merits, evidence strength, and relevant precedents. No lawyer can guarantee outcomes, but we give you honest evaluations to make informed decisions.

Should I settle or go to trial?

This depends on settlement terms, case strength, litigation costs, time considerations, and your objectives. We help you weigh these factors to make the best decision for your circumstances.

What is discovery?

Discovery is the pre-trial process where parties exchange relevant documents and conduct examinations (oral questioning under oath) to understand each side’s case and evidence.

Can I represent myself in court?

While legally permitted, self-representation in litigation is generally inadvisable. Court procedures are complex, and judges cannot provide legal advice. Legal representation significantly improves your chances of favourable outcomes.

What happens if I lose?

The losing party typically pays a portion of the winning party’s legal costs (not full costs, but a contribution). We discuss cost risks when assessing whether to proceed with litigation.

What is an injunction?

An injunction is a court order requiring someone to do something (mandatory injunction) or stop doing something (prohibitory injunction). Injunctions can be temporary (interim/interlocutory) or permanent.
