What is Litigation?
Litigation is the formal legal process of resolving disputes through the court system. Unlike mediation or arbitration, litigation places the final decision in the hands of a judge or jury. It often involves pleadings, discovery, depositions, motions, and trial.
While litigation can be complex and time-consuming, it is sometimes the only path to resolution—particularly when one or both parties are unwilling to compromise.
