Understanding legal terminology is important when dealing with litigation. The following glossary provides explanations of common terms you may encounter during your case.
The plaintiff is the party who initiates a lawsuit by filing a complaint against another party, alleging wrongdoing or breach of contract.
Discovery is the pre-trial phase where both parties exchange information, documents, and evidence relevant to the case to prepare for trial or settlement discussions.
The defendant is the party against whom the lawsuit is filed and who must respond to the plaintiff’s claims in court.
A settlement is an agreement reached between parties to resolve the dispute without proceeding to trial, often involving compromise terms.
When facing business disputes, clients may consider either a limited approach focusing on specific issues or a comprehensive legal strategy addressing all aspects of the case. Each approach has benefits and trade-offs depending on the complexity and goals of the litigation.
In cases involving minor contract disagreements or straightforward issues, a focused legal approach targeting the specific problem can be effective and more cost-efficient. This allows quicker resolutions without extensive litigation.
If there is a strong possibility of reaching an early settlement, concentrating on negotiation and mediation efforts can resolve disputes without the need for prolonged court proceedings.
