It is not always possible to avoid disputes, and rights can sometimes be asserted only through litigation. In such conflicts, we evaluate the chances and risks of your success in litigation and help you develop the best resolution of the dispute possible and execute this in practice. This may mean out-of-court settlement or even filing the case with the courts or the regulatory authorities.
