Litigation Management Training

An intensive and highly practical day, delivered by qualified and practicing lawyers.

The morning involves an in-depth look at our legal system and court system. It focuses on civil, criminal, and employment law procedure in detail, looking at the different types of cases and the different stages of proceedings including pleadings and interim applications. It also includes a look at the different remedies available and costs.

For staff who handle P.I. litigation, it examines in detail the Personal Injuries Assessment Board Act 2003, the Civil Liability and Courts Act 2004, and their effect on the way that personal injuries litigation is processed.

The afternoon session will focus on the practical aspects of how best to deal with the legal team, whether providing instructions to them, preparing witness statements, completing affidavits, attending at settlement negotiations or complying with discovery requirements.

It will involve a detailed analysis of various types of sample pleadings to give staff a clear understanding of what is required to ensure the pleadings are correct.
