What is a Civil Dispute?
Civil or personal disputes are private cases in which one or more parties want;
- Compensation, or
- A solution
To a situation outside of criminal law.
Civil disputes are governed by The Civil Procedure Rules which simplify legal proceedings. These rules are the framework on which all civil disputes are judged. Especially where no specific laws exist.
They are designed to reduce both the cost of civil cases and how long they take to resolve.
What Does a Litigation Solicitor Do?
When your bring a disputed matter to us, it’s our job to look over as much information and paperwork as possible. We’ll work out if you have a good chance of winning your case and advise you on how best to proceed.
We’ll handle all the paperwork, collect witness statements, and negotiate agreements with the other party. We’ll seek alternative types of dispute resolution and if needed, we’ll file court cases.
While most cases don’t go to court, rest assured, if your case does, we’ll stand with you side by side and represent you.
How We Can Help Resolve Disputes
There are two main ways of resolving disputes;
1. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
It is always best to use an Alternative Dispute Resolution method before taking a case to court. There are several methods of alternative resolution. These include;
- Mediation
- Round table negotiation
- Arbitration, or
- Conciliation
This can prevent long and complex court cases, saving both time and money.
2. Civil Litigation
If alternative dispute resolution does not work, we might start court proceedings. Not all civil dispute cases go to court, even if we start court proceedings. If they do, they can be long and complex.
Why Choose Rothera Bray Litigation Lawyers?

When you instruct us to represent you, we will assign a dedicated solicitor to your case. They will work with you from the start of your dispute, all the way through to resolution.

Jade Belcher took over matters instantly and was very informative and up to speed with the matter providing guidance on what avenues I could potentially take as well as well has make contact with the debtor who eventually accepted liability and managed to obtain a payment plan out of the debtor. Thanks for all your help Jade

I recently enjoyed the benefit of legal representation by Rothera Bray, specifically Millie Moreton. In what was a particularly tricky case with the customer representing himself in a very malicious and contentious manner, the support, guidance and professionalism we received was outstanding. So many times my patience was tested and Millie would listen, advise and get me to see and adopt the best course of action. Anyone who gets to be represented by her will be in very safe hands and I recommend her and her employer whole heartedly.

Grant at Rothera Bray was absolutely brilliant and professional. I put a claim in for loss to my property I purchased in 2021. I turned to Rothera Bray and Grant was assigned to take my case, this claim I was going through for around 7 months and Grant had every step under control. Brilliant with communication and approach to each step of the way and stages. Very professional. I would highly recommend Rothera Bray and will in the future. Thankyou guys.
