It is not uncommon for individuals or businesses to find themselves involved in a legal dispute in which one or more parties are seeking monetary damages, specific performance of an agreement, a judicial declaration of rights and/or injunctive relief mandating or prohibiting certain behavior.  Disputes of this nature, such as an alleged breach of contract, typically fall under the broad practice area known as civil litigation, which entails the use of the courts, mediators or arbitrators for resolution and adjudication.  A plaintiff in a civil litigation matter generally seeks to right a wrong, enforce an agreement, and/or obtain compensation for an injury.  A defendant in a civil litigation matter wants to vigorously oppose the plaintiff’s claims in order to protect the defendant’s rights and avoid or mitigate potential liability.  Examples of civil litigation matters include legal disputes arising from the following:

• Fraud
• Breach of contract
• Neglience
• Dissolution or breakup of a business
• Unfair business practices
• Business disputes
• Trade secrets
• Non-compete covenants
• Securities matters
• Breach of warranties
• Mechanics’ liens
• Employment litigation
• Personal injury
• Product liability
• Medical malpractice and professional negligence
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• Construction defects
• Premises liability
