Taking advice early in relation to a potential litigation matter can potentially have great advantages for a client since the earlier such advice is taken the more opportunity there is to explore alternatives to going to court to resolve a dispute.
Furthermore, a well-advised client who has the advantage of being made aware of their rights and obligations early is better equipped than an uninformed party who may be pursuing or compromising a matter unnecessarily.
