Welcome to our world

Our Approach

We know from experience how disputes can affect companies and individuals financially and emotionally. The consequences can be far-reaching. There is often a great deal at stake. Therefore, we believe that legal disputes—unwanted as they may be—require special attention and careful management. We are experts in preventing, resolving, managing, and litigating business disputes. We have been doing this successfully for years.
We have mastered the craft of litigation, the art of playing chess and thinking ten steps ahead. We know how to play the game and anticipate unwanted surprises. We operate both tactically and strategically. When it comes to litigating a case, we anticipate the judge’s line of reasoning.

Craft

Sometimes, going above and beyond is necessary to manage and sustainably resolve conflicts. Business disputes too often involve emotions and underlying concerns. We recognize this phenomenon, because as long as the parties are hindered by it, a solution will not emerge. We understand the dynamics and emotions involved in a conflict. We manage emotions and resolve disruptive dynamics in order to de-escalate the situation. Only then can the parties approach their conflict with a clear perspective. This includes the decision of whether or not to pursue litigation.

De-escalation

We believe that the decision to litigate should be viewed as a business investment decision to be made in a well-considered and realistic manner. Ideally, emotions should not play a role at that stage; rather, the decision should be based on an accurate financial and legal risk analysis. We provide our clients with extensive support throughout this process.

Litigation Decision

We ensure that we understand the impact of the dispute and its outcome on you and your organization, as well as on your current and future situation. We assess and consider the landscape, the opportunities and risks, the certainties and uncertainties, and the expected costs as accurately and objectively as possible.

Analysis

If the necessary financial resources to fund a lawsuit are lacking, or if it is not advisable to fund a lawsuit with one’s own funds, we help our clients secure external funding through litigation funders or other financiers in our network.

Funding

We will tell you honestly what we think of your case. We will show you the direction we believe you should take, whether it involves litigation, a settlement, or an alternative.

Plan

We walk with you along the way—sometimes behind you, sometimes ahead of you, but mostly beside you, shoulder to shoulder—until we reach our destination.
