Expertise across the board
At Etheringtons we have expertise across the civil litigation arena; defamation, misrepresentation and negligence. You can be assured of timely advice and a caring, attentive service if you have a civil dispute.
Defamation
You have limited time to act in a defamation case, so seek advice quickly. Defamation occurs when your character or business reputation is called into question by the publication of a statement in the public domain.
The ‘public domain’ includes the workplace, in the media, and a variety of public places.
Do you have a case?
The extent of publication is critical to the issue of the range of damages that you may be eligible to recover in a court action. We are able to advise on possible settlements based on previous case history and can assist in preparing and presenting your case. Settlement involves a number of options – for example a public apology or a suitably placed correction as well as monetary damages. We can evaluate your choices and possibilities with you.
Misrepresentation
Were you told one thing, and something different has happened? Have you suffered financially as a result? You may be able to seek compensation as well as damages. Let Etheringtons assess your case and provide your options, plus the likely outcomes
Negligence
Have you received unsatisfactory advice or service from a professional in the following areas:
- Construction and Engineering
- Real Estate
- Legal
- Financial
- Other professionals
Claim damages
You may be able to claim damages and compensation. Etheringtons can undertake a review of your case and assess. We can then proceed to mediation or civil proceedings. Our aim is to give you timely advice that seeks to minimise your costs whilst maximising your outcome.
