Arbitration
Today, arbitration has increasingly become a preferred method for resolving disputes in the business world. Faster and more flexible than court litigation, arbitration offers the parties confidentiality and tailored procedures. Furthermore, the recognition and enforceability of arbitral awards on an international scale is highly important for the global business community.

Litigation
When a dispute arises, we first seek to resolve it amicably by proposing peaceful means and attending settlement negotiations, aiming to resolve the matter swiftly and at lower cost for the client. We frequently use and recommend mediation, whether mandatory or voluntary, where it is available under our legislation.
If a settlement cannot be reached, we attach great importance not only to filing the action, preparing the pleadings and attending hearings, but also to keeping the client informed of the current status of the file. We aim to manage the file as a team and ensure that someone capable of providing the client with up-to-date information is always available.
- Conducting all forms of alternative dispute resolution;
- Following up on national and international litigation and arbitration proceedings;
- Active and multi-faceted file management in disputes that have reached the litigation stage;
- Resolving disputes relating to zoning plans;
- Conducting up-to-date legislative and doctrinal research and resolving disputes from this perspective.
