Bringing a Civil Claim

If you believe another party has breached an obligation or caused legally recognised harm, you may consider bringing a civil claim. Before taking legal action, it is important to understand:

• The basis of the claim

• The evidence available

• The parties involved

• Potential remedies

• The applicable legal process

• Potential costs and risks

Pisanti Attorneys can assess the circumstances of your dispute and advise on the available legal options, including whether the matter is appropriate for litigation and which court has jurisdiction.

Civil Litigation Services

Pisanti Attorneys can assist with civil disputes and litigation matters in both the High Court and Magistrates' Courts, including:

Contractual Disputes

Disagreements may arise when parties interpret an agreement differently or believe contractual obligations have not been fulfilled. Legal advice can help establish the relevant obligations and determine the appropriate steps.

Civil Claims

A civil claim may arise where one party believes another has caused financial or other legally recognised harm. The circumstances, evidence and potential remedies should be assessed before deciding how to proceed.

Dispute Resolution

Not every dispute needs to proceed through a full court process. Depending on the circumstances, negotiation or settlement may provide an appropriate alternative to litigation and may help resolve the matter without proceeding to trial.

Court Representation

Where litigation is necessary, Pisanti Attorneys can provide legal representation in both the High Court and Magistrates' Courts. This includes assisting with the preparation, institution and defence of civil proceedings, as well as representing clients throughout the relevant court process.
