In both commercial and civil contexts, legal disputes are often inevitable. When parties are unable to reach a resolution through negotiation or mediation, the most decisive and ultimate solution is litigation — settling the dispute in court. With a team of highly experienced lawyers, APEX PARTNERS proudly serves as a trusted legal partner, supporting clients at every stage of litigation to ensure their rights and lawful interests are fully protected.

What is Court Litigation?

Court litigation is the process of resolving conflicts between parties by submitting the case to a judicial authority—a court with the power to adjudicate and issue legally binding judgments or decisions. It is considered the final legal recourse when alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, arbitration, or negotiation have failed.

Common Types of Disputes Brought to Court

• Contract disputes (sale of goods, services, construction, lease of assets, etc.)
• Labor disputes
• Civil disputes (inheritance, division of assets, debt repayment, etc.)
• Marriage and family disputes
• Commercial and investment disputes
• Land and real estate disputes
• Administrative disputes between individuals/businesses and state agencies

Why Choose Court Litigation?

While there are various methods of dispute resolution, taking a case to court offers distinct advantages:

Legal enforceability

Court judgments are legally binding. If the losing party does not comply voluntarily, enforcement measures can be applied through judgment execution agencies.

Transparency and fairness

Court proceedings are typically public (except in special cases), ensuring openness and justice.

Precedent-setting value

Judgments, especially from higher courts, can be referenced as legal precedents in future similar cases.

Comprehensive legal protection

Courts have the authority to handle complex requests, such as determining civil liability, awarding compensation, declaring contracts invalid, or ordering the cessation of unlawful acts.

Court Litigation Process

Depending on the type of dispute (civil, commercial, labor, or administrative), the procedure may vary. However, the general steps typically include:

1. Gathering evidence and documentation

This preparatory stage is the foundation of the litigation process. Collecting, organizing, and analyzing evidence is essential to build a solid legal argument.

2. Drafting and filing the lawsuit

Lawyers will prepare and file the petition with the competent court in accordance with legal requirements.

3. Case acceptance and court notifications

Upon accepting a valid petition, the court will issue a case acceptance notice and begin procedural activities such as witness statements, mediation attempts, and evidence examination.

4. First-instance trial

The court holds a public or closed hearing (depending on the case), considers evidence, witness testimony, expert opinions, and legal arguments before issuing a ruling.

5. Appeal hearing (if applicable)

If an appeal or protest is filed, the case will be reviewed at the appellate level. The appellate judgment takes immediate legal effect and serves as the basis for enforcement.

Important Considerations When Going to Court

• Understand your rights and obligations: Correctly identifying your legal status (plaintiff, defendant, related party...) is crucial.
• Prepare sufficient legal evidence: Contracts, documents, receipts, emails, recordings, and witnesses are essential for supporting your case.
• Do not underestimate procedural formalities: Errors in forms, deadlines, or claim content may result in case rejection or dismissal.
• Choose an experienced litigation lawyer: A lawyer with court experience can construct strong arguments, rebut opposing claims, handle unexpected developments, and best protect your interests.
