Trial lawyer – a lawyer who handles litigation matters in court

A trial lawyer is not just a lawyer, but a specialist whose main task is to successfully present the client's position in adversarial situations and obtain a court decision that would fully or partially satisfy his interests. A trial lawyer, having a certificate of the right to practice law, can provide consulting support, prepare procedural documents, and support in the event of a decision being challenged in appeal and cassation. We will discuss in more detail when it is worth contacting him and what are the main advantages of his services in the article below.

When do you need to go to court to resolve a case (dispute)?

Going to court is an extreme case for protecting rights, but it is quite effective. You should go to court when it comes to:

• ignorance of your requirements by the other party after filing a claim;
• a dispute has arisen that cannot be resolved peacefully (there is a moment of moral harm, large material losses, the need to protect honor, dignity and business reputation, etc.);
• an illegal decision of a state body needs to be canceled;
• establishing legal facts (for example, confirmation of family ties for inheritance).

Pre-trial cases: how can a lawyer help?

Legal practice shows that most conflicts (except those related to criminal proceedings) can be resolved at the negotiation stage, if you approach the process professionally. In this case, the participation of a lawyer (trial lawyer) includes:

• audit of the situation (assessment of real chances of victory);
• preparation of claim documents;
• representation of the client's interests at meetings with counterparties/debtors;
• drawing up a final agreement based on the results of negotiations.

Important! Lawyers of the company "Prikhodko & Partners" note that for some it is advisable not to go to court immediately, but first to go through the pre-trial appeal procedure. In particular, these are situations regarding the collection of receivables, recovery of damages from an employee for disclosing confidential information of the company, family disputes, and others. To learn more - we suggest ordering a consultation with one of our lawyers.

In which legal disputes is it better to seek help from a lawyer?

Commercial litigation

This is where disputes between business entities (individual entrepreneurs, LLCs, joint-stock companies, etc.) are resolved.
