Litigation attorneys represent clients (plaintiffs, defendants) in legal disputes that are subject to litigation. Also known as litigators, these lawyers understand the judicial process of filing law suits (summons, complaint, pleadings, statute of limitations), defending against claims and pleading counter-claims (filing answers), and prosecuting law suits, including: conducting discovery (interrogatories, depositions, document requests, medical examinations, etc), motions practice (summary judgment, motion to dismiss), settlement negotiations, trial, filing appeals, enforcing judgments, and so on.
