Event Recap: Understanding Civil Litigation with Lawyer Shokur Fahd

On September 4, 2025, SimpleLegal proudly hosted a highly informative and well-attended online seminar on Civil Litigation, featuring expert insights from litigation lawyer Shokur Fahd. The event was designed for individuals navigating legal challenges related to civil disputes in Canada—covering everything from when to take legal action to how and when to engage a lawyer to protect your rights.

🎯 Why This Topic Matters

Civil litigation is one of the most common legal areas that people face without adequate knowledge. From rental conflicts and workplace issues to sales disputes and debt collection, civil disputes often escalate quickly—and without timely action, people risk compromising their legal rights.

SimpleLegal’s mission is to make legal information accessible, combining smart technology with real human expertise. This seminar was part of that ongoing commitment to empower the public with the knowledge and tools they need.

🔹 Seminar Highlights

Part 1: Civil Litigation Explained – with Lawyer Shokur Fahd

In the first half of the session, Lawyer Shokur Fahd broke down the essentials of civil litigation:

• Common civil disputes: These include rental agreement issues, wrongful termination or employment concerns, unpaid debts, and disputes over goods or services.

• What to do when you’re sued: Shokur provided a clear roadmap on how to respond to legal notices and what mistakes to avoid.

• When to hire a lawyer: Many participants were surprised to learn that early consultation can often prevent a lawsuit from escalating and may even help resolve issues through negotiation or mediation.

Shokur emphasized the importance of timing and documentation in any civil case, encouraging attendees to seek legal help before taking or responding to action in court.

“A lot of damage can be avoided simply by knowing when to act and who to ask,” said Shokur during the Q&A segment.
