Civil litigation refers to the legal process of resolving disputes between individuals, organizations, or entities. Unlike criminal cases, where the government prosecutes an individual for violating the law, civil litigation involves private parties seeking resolution for a variety of issues. Many people will be involved in a civil dispute at some point in their lives—a breached contract or agreement, a problem with insurance, employment issues, wills and estates questions, injuries, and real estate disputes, to name a few. Velletta Pedersen Christie offers legal representation in civil litigation matters at all levels of court in Canada. As a matter of right, parties are entitled to have their disputes resolved before the courts. Our goal is to resolve clients’ civil disputes cost-effectively.
