Disputes

Dispute resolution is a key area of our practice. Our extensive experience includes representing clients in disputes in all areas of law as well as in business non-profit sectors. Thanks to many years of cooperation with respected foreign law firms, we are able to effectively represent clients in international disputes and arbitration and coordinate resolutions across jurisdictions. We always focus on promptly and accurately identifying the key elements of the dispute and assessing the merits of an amicable solution, and tailor our litigation strategy to the client's business interests and the pursuit of the best possible resolution. A number of court and arbitration decisions in favour of our clients have become landmark decisions in their respective areas of law and are cited in other subsequent case law and decision-making practice.
