legal battles
Lawsuits and disputes
Legal battles are prolonged disputes fought through the court system, typically involving lawyers, filings, hearings, and appeals.
The phrase emphasizes the adversarial and exhausting nature of litigation—costly in time, money, and emotional energy: The divorce turned into a years-long legal battle.
Unlike a simple lawsuit, legal battles suggest ongoing conflict with no quick resolution.
