Welcome to our world

Our approach

We know from experience how disputes can financially and emotionally impact companies and individuals. The consequences can reach far. Much can be 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 done so for years, successfully.
We mastered the craft of litigation, the art of playing the game of chess and thinking ten steps ahead. We know how to play the game and anticipate unwanted surprises. We operate tactically and strategically. When it comes to litigating a case, we anticipate the line of thinking of the judge.

Craft

Sometimes, going above and beyond is necessary to manage and sustainably resolve conflicts. Business disputes too often involve emotions and underexposed concerns. We have an eye for this phenomenon, because as long as parties are obstructed by it, a solution will not present itself. We understand the dynamics and emotions involved in a conflict. We manage emotions and resolve disruptive dynamics in order to achieve de-escalation. Only then can parties approach their conflict with a clear view. This includes the decision whether or not to litigate.

De-escalation

We believe that the decision to litigate should be considered a business investment decision to be be made in a well-considered and realistic way. Emotions should ideally not play a role at that stage, but rather an accurate financial and legal risk analysis. We assist our clients intensively with this process.

Litigation decision

We make sure we understand the impact of the dispute and its outcome on you and your organization, on the present and future situation. We assess and consider the playing field, the opportunities and the risks, the certainties and uncertainties and the expected costs as accurately and objectively as possible.

Analysis

If the necessary financial means to finance a lawsuit are lacking or if it is not preferable to finance a lawsuit with own funds, we help our clients with finding external funding through the litigation funders or other financiers from our network.

Funding

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

Plan

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