Read Rashmi’s top five tips on avoiding and preparing for a litigation case
- Keep all of your documentation: This includes your emails, WhatsApp messages, and any other form of digital communication. Ensure that you write down and date any verbal communication, so you have a paper trail should you need it.
- The right time to call a professional: There will be a point where you will be heading towards a dispute, but it hasn’t quite reached that point yet. This is the time to get legal advice. Getting a litigator / mediator can prevent it from happening in the first place. They can support you with negotiating an easier exit from the relationship without having the courts involved.
- Stop all communication: If the above doesn’t work and you’re now at a full-blown dispute, do not communicate with the opposite party. Use this time to collate all your documents as soon as possible and establish a timeline of events.
- Put together a strategy: Firstly, you need to understand what your objective is: what do you want to achieve? This will need to be clear and concise so that your lawyer can support you in every way possible.
- Post-dispute: Now that the dispute is over, you need to be cautious about a potential new dispute arising again in the future, and how you can prevent it.
