Litigation is the formal process of resolving disputes through the courts when other solutions, such as negotiation or pre-litigation agreements, are not successful.

Many disputes start with
pre-litigation actions, such as Letters of Demand, Acknowledgment of Debt (AOD), or negotiated settlements, before escalating to formal litigation.
