Personal litigation is legal representation on behalf of individuals in areas of personal law, which involves legal issues that many people will at sometime have occasion to deal with. It is not restricted to court cases but also involves “transactional” work, the drafting and negotiation of agreements in these types of cases. Often, this type of practice is a small division of a larger firm.

Personal law encompasses representation in cases involving employment, real estate, family law, and estate planning. Lawyers practicing in this area also handle matters like income tax, and small business planning. The lawyer’s representation is not restricted to one side of a legal issue, in the sense that she represents her client in whatever legal role the client has, whether plaintiff or defendant.

Real estate law can include disputes between neighbors about the boundaries between their respective properties or interference with a right of way. Sometimes litigation may involve interpretation of real estate sales contracts or enforcement of the terms of residential and commercial leases. A personal litigation lawyer may also be involved in negotiating and drafting contracts involving the sale or lease of property. She may also counsel a prospective buyer as to whether the terms of a property sale contract are fair and legal before it is signed.
