Our Legal Services

Civil Litigation

Civil litigation covers a broad range of legal disputes between individuals, businesses, or organizations. At Claris & Co Legal, we help clients resolve disagreements through court processes or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods that are often more cost-effective and efficient.

Commercial Litigation

Commercial litigation is a subset of civil litigation focused on disputes arising within business and commercial relationships. These may include cross-border issues, contract breaches, partnership disagreements, or internal governance conflicts. Our team works strategically to protect your commercial interests while minimizing risk and reputational harm.

Funding Civil Litigation

Pursuing litigation can be costly. At Claris & Co Legal, we explore all available options with you, including:

• Private fee-paying arrangements
• Conditional Fee Agreements (commonly referred to as “no win, no fee”)
• Damages Based Agreements
• Legal Expenses Insurance
• Support through union representation or third-party funders

We ensure you understand potential costs and make informed decisions before moving forward.

Common Areas of Civil Dispute

Contractual Disputes

When a party fails to uphold a contract—written or oral—it can result in a breach. We assist in identifying breached terms, evaluating claims, and pursuing remedies such as compensation or enforcement of contractual obligations.

Company and Shareholder Disputes

Disputes between directors and shareholders may involve breaches of fiduciary duty, mismanagement, or minority oppression. Our lawyers help businesses and stakeholders pursue appropriate legal action, including shareholder buyouts, injunctions, or corporate restructuring.

Partnership Disputes

Disagreements between business partners—over finances, roles, or exit strategies—can seriously impact operations. We advise on resolving disputes, restructuring partnerships, or guiding partners through dissolution or mediation processes.

Professional Negligence

If a professional (e.g., solicitor, accountant, architect) fails to meet the expected standard of care, you may suffer losses. We assist in proving duty of care breaches and quantifying resulting damages to recover what you’re entitled to.

Property Disputes

Our civil litigation team handles both residential and commercial property disputes, including:

• Landlord and tenant disagreements
• Lease violations and eviction actions
• Boundary disputes and nuisance claims

We work with landlords, tenants, and property owners to enforce rights and resolve conflicts efficiently.

Inheritance and Probate Disputes

We handle sensitive cases involving contested wills, exclusion from inheritance, or claims against an estate. Whether you are challenging or defending a claim, our solicitors provide compassionate and strategic guidance.

Commercial Fraud and Misrepresentation

Civil disputes may also involve allegations of deceit, breach of fiduciary duty, or fraudulent misrepresentation. Our lawyers are experienced in investigating complex fraud claims and initiating civil action to recover damages and secure justice.
