How does the litigation process work in Northern Ireland?
To minimise the expense and stress of civil legal proceedings, our litigation solicitors adopt a very clear litigation process that aligns with the law in Northern Ireland:
1. Get free legal advice
We offer a free consultation. This gives you an opportunity to get initial legal advice with no cost or commitment. Our civil lawsuit lawyers will give a fair assessment on the strength of your case and a proposed course of action.
2. Pre-action protocol
Before a full civil legal action starts, our litigation solicitors will use all their experience to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion. This could include dispute resolution meetings, mediation, or negotiations with the other party and their solicitor.
3. Litigation proceedings start
If a satisfactory solution can’t be reached during pre-action protocol, then proceedings start when the plaintiff — the person making the claim — issues a summons. During a process of pleadings and discovery, both sides will exchange paperwork detailing their case. Our litigation solicitors will handle every aspect of this on your behalf.
4. Going to court
If the matter still can’t be settled, our civil litigation lawyers will represent you in court. Before a civil trial, we will guide you on everything you need to do and what to expect. We will present your case and the evidence we’ve gathered to form a compelling case.
5. Post-trial
Once a judgement has been reached, we will offer any legal support you need after the trial. This could include help with enforcing the judgement or advice on pursuing an appeal.
Our team of litigation solicitors will be by your side to support you every step of the way. Get in touch with any questions you have about your case and what to expect.

Dispute Resolution & Litigation Solicitors FAQs
Litigation solicitors are responsible for guiding their clients through civil legal disputes. This might involve disputes relating to professional negligence, contract breaches or unpaid bills.
A litigation solicitor helps to resolve these disputes in a way that best protects their client’s interests. This could be through dispute resolution and negotiations or court proceedings.
To achieve that, litigation solicitors’ duties might involve evaluating claims, offering legal advice to clients, preparing and submitting legal documents, gathering evidence, attending resolution or settlement meetings, and representing clients in court.
The time limits for litigation in Northern Ireland vary depending on the nature of the dispute. In most cases, the time limit is six years from the date of the cause of the dispute.
For personal injury claims, the time limit is three years from the date of the incident, or three years from the date you became aware that somebody else was responsible for your injury.
Get in touch at the earliest opportunity to find out the relevant time limit for your case.
You can’t make a no win, no fee litigation claim in Northern Ireland because no win, no fee arrangements are banned under the law here. Instead, we offer a free initial consultation. This gives us an opportunity to advise you on the strength of your case and the likelihood of winning a litigation claim.
You get important legal advice at no cost and with no obligation to proceed. Get in touch to book a consultation.
In Northern Ireland, it’s usually – though not always – the case that the losing party is ordered to pay the winning party’s legal costs. We always offer fair, impartial legal advice at the outset of your claim to help you assess these risks.
On the other hand, it means that your legal fees are likely to be covered if we are successful in winning your case.
