Behind every great legal dispute there is often a lawyer advising against it.

The first rule of litigation is don’t.  But if you must, be strategic, don’t just throw yourself up against the wire.

The eBook is to help you deal with your legal conflicts in a financial crisis or just a plain old downturn. 

When times are hard people and organisations are quick to sue debtors.  Driven by fear there is a lack of trust.  It is easier to make legal mistakes yourself or fall victim to the legal assault of others.

It not only covers court actions but fights with government departments, multi nationals, club committees, your spouse, neighbours and all sorts of other people and organisations that wind you up.  It gives you the bottom line on getting money that you are owed.

Most importantly, it deals with how to avoid disputes in the first place which is often the most effective but least popular option.

It is intended to give a view of law which is relevant in any country.  The types of legal issue that people have are universal.  The laws may try to be different but when it gets down to it they are dealing with the same problems.  Having said that a legal case can turn on a single word but the big picture strategies to avoid, win or at least not dig too deep a legal hole, are very similar.
