Litigation is proceedings initiated between two opposing parties to implement or protect a legal right. Litigation is characteristically settled by agreement between the parties, but may also be heard and decided by in court.  Litigation comprises any number of actions before, during, and after a legal action to enforce a legal right. In addition to the actual legal action, pre-suit negotiations, arbitrations, facilitations and appeals may also be part of the litigation process.
