What types of cases fall under civil litigation?
Civil litigation includes a wide range of non-criminal disputes such as contract breaches, real estate conflicts, employment issues, and estate disputes. At Powell Litigation, our Toronto Litigation Lawyers handle cases involving both individuals and businesses across Ontario
How long will the litigation process take?
The duration of a civil lawsuit in Toronto varies significantly based on complexity, willingness of parties to settle, and court caseloads. While some cases resolve in 18 months, others can take 3-5 years or longer, especially if they proceed to trial. Your lawyer can provide a more specific estimate based on your unique case details. Learn more about the length of the process here.
What is the difference between a civil litigator and a lawyer?
While all civil litigators are lawyers licensed to practice law, a civil litigator specializes in representing clients in disputes that proceed through the court system, focusing on courtroom advocacy, pleadings, discovery, and trial. A general lawyer may handle a broader range of legal matters that don't necessarily involve litigation.
