We evaluate the prospects for the case and choose the best line of defence.
Representation in negotiations with the opposing party to a dispute

Representation of clients in court
We support our clients at any stage of a dispute: we draw up pre-action complaints, review case files and issue relevant recommendations, draw up statements of claim, petitions, court appeals, etc.
Supporting bankruptcy proceedings involving legal entities or individuals
We help our clients prepare bankruptcy petitions, have their claims included on the register of creditors' claims, support all debtor-related procedures, and so on.
