CIVIL LITIGATION

Civil Litigation field is extremely complex.

Not only qualified civil litigator has the basic knowledge of the entire legal framework, but a lawyer practising in a certain area has thorough expertise of that domain area as well.

To put simply: the lawyer practising in business and commercial law must not only know the basics of, for instance, accounting but also, most importantly, the nature of the business operations and processes, business environment, has a thorough understanding of the commercial tradesmen spirit, along with most common commercial problems and challenges business professionals face on a daily basis – so, ultimately, clients do not have to wait around for additional weeks until the lawyer “ramps up” their knowledge in that area and just pads their legal fees.

Accordingly, qualified lawyer practising in the real estate litigation generally does not only know that specific area but also most likely actually worked initially as a solicitor in that area in the past (so has a "hands-on" experience), for instance, with real estate closings (as, believe it or not, many lawyers calling themselves “practising in the real estate litigation” have never even completed a single transaction themselves), and also prepared relevant contractual agreements, as well as, most likely, engaged is some shape or form regulatory work.

In addition, for instance, Real Estate Litigation Lawyer must also have typically a very detailed knowledge and in-depth familiarity with the appropriate legislature and case laws, i.e. Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, Construction Act, Conveyancing Act, City by-laws and so forth, as well as understands what are the most critical aspects for the clients in their matters to look at, how to address these, but also how to effectively deal with clients concerns and fears, while advancing their case, in the most appropriate manner.

Likewise, the same principles apply to the Estate Litigation. However, what is more important in that area of law is that how lawyer deals with very sensitive matters and how well the lawyer can negotiate better terms without incurring any additional costs and complications to clients.

But, most importantly, professional litigators have a thorough knowledge and application of Rules of Civil Procedures that are directly relevant to area they practice: i.e. on how to initiate lawsuits, tactics and expertise on how to defend claims, motions, and injuctions, how to prepare Facta, but, even more importantly, on how to apply all that knowledge strategically due to their prior experience that such lawyers attained through a numerous and numerous lawsuits over and over again, and again.

Accordingly, in order to successfully practice and win cases on behalf of clients, on the most advanced level, successful litigators always put a very heavy emphasis on strong negotiation skills, and, so to say, they “know the Courts”, i.e. they have skills on how to properly present evidence in front of the judges, how to argue these points effectively (in order to make sure that the Judge favours that point, instead of the other), and also how to put a pressure (when necessary) on the other side to manage to settle "unwinnable" cases, or, in the alternative, to make sure that the matter gets, indeed, advanced to trial, so the client obtains more favourable award or judgement.

While some individuals feel that they can handle civil litigation themselves, working without a lawyer can be incredibly complicated, unproductive and impractical. The legal system is not designed to be easily understood, and small mistakes can have huge implications. It takes years and years even for good lawyers to forge their craft. Errors in court filing, bad negotiation strategy, and a poor understanding of the law are all mistakes that see over and over that self-represented litigants come back to us with asking us to fix for them and that now results in a a case set back for months or even years to correct and go back on proper track. All that while Litigation can be very aggressive, and the other party definitely bringing up a fight, so it’s very important to have a skilled advocate in your corner.

Whether you are looking for a reasonable settlement or for the right legal counsel to defend you in court, our team of civil litigation lawyers has the expertise to apply the right practice-proven litigation methods for your situation. We focus on resolving your civil dispute effectively and efficiently.

Our lawyers have substantial experience winning cases through both successful negotiations and successful court judgments, and we have the knowledge to provide helpful insight on the direction of your case. Our experience speaks volumes.

We focus primarily on civil Litigation pertaining to the areas of asset division and preservation, with particular emphasis on the following 3 keys areas of civil litigation:

• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Real estate litigation
• Estate litigation

We do also provide dynamic legal representation in other areas of civil litigation, such as contract breaches, debt litigation matters, defamation and libel cases, among others, representing both Plaintiffs and Defendants, but which typically in some shape or form complement our key practice areas.

WHY US?

The success, in any endeavour, is typically determined only by 3 factors:

• Incorruptible determination
• Ferocious dedication and
• a bit luck along the way in achieve that goal.

The first two are definitely within our control and we do nothing day after day to gain our client’s trust so we can also beat the odds of the third constraint that is out of our control. We are last to leave, but the first to go in “the battle”.

The moment you will step into the ME Law universe, the imperative that we always try to convey to our clients is that - first of all - we care about them: we care about our client’s success just as we care about our own, because their success, ultimately, results in our success in the long run too.

We strongly believe that such “skin in the game approach” and duty to them provides us with a stronger incentive in advancing their cases and to tackle their challenges and problems.

Secondly, as skilled litigators, we know how to build a winning case and how every detail can be vital. We work tirelessly and closely with our clients to review their version of events, gather and assess all of the relevant evidence, and then – we do it one more time to make sure that we leave no stone unturned and save ourselves from any surprises, and so we also have a contingency Plan B (and even supporting Plan C) in place as well.

Accordingly, since ME Law only limits its practice to 3 main key areas, we attempt to balance both expert knowledge and experience to these key areas so we can achieve the best possible combination of skills and flexibility in order for us to move our client’s cases forward with trust and confidence.

We pride ourselves on combination of competence and professionalism that very often helps us to achieve frontiers of unchartered territories (if something unexpected pop us during the litigation) so nothing challenges our confidences in advancing our client’s cases, no matter how complicated these can become.

Likewise, while we focus on the external, we constantly exploit the way to make sure that our internal processes are always stay up to date and efficient as well so we ultimately embed our resources and motivation deep under our skin to be more resilient in advancing the matter we are fighting for.

Finally, we do not look at ourselves as service provider to clients that costs our clients their money. But, on the contrary, we take the view that sometimes we make sure that result that client obtain are detrimental to their life in the future, so, in essence, quality legal representation is an investment rather than just a heavy burden. Therefore, that’s how we deliver ultimately value to our clients and win for them.
