STAGES OF LITIGATION

Litigation in New York involves several stages, including:

1. Pleadings: The first stage of litigation involves filing pleadings, which include a complaint from the plaintiff and an answer from the defendant. These documents set out the claims and defenses of the parties.
2. Discovery: The discovery stage involves gathering and exchanging information relevant to the dispute. This can include depositions, interrogatories, document requests, and admissions requests.
3. Motions: The parties may file motions at various stages of litigation to seek dismissal of claims or to obtain summary judgment.
4. Trial: If the case proceeds to trial, both parties will present evidence and arguments to a judge or jury, who will decide on the case.
5. Appeal: If a party is dissatisfied with the trial's outcome, they may appeal the decision to a higher court.

TYPES OF LITIGATION

Litigation can involve various types of disputes, including:

• Contract disputes: Disputes over the terms and performance of a contract.
• Business disputes: Disputes between businesses, such as disputes over intellectual property or partnerships.
