Contractual Practice

Our clients engage us to prepare, revise and, in conjunction with them, negotiate contracts of all kinds, most frequently purchase contracts and contracts for work, but also comprehensive master contracts, distribution contracts, confidentiality contracts and others. This practice also comprises the preparation or review of commercial terms. A significant portion of the contractual practice also relates to concluding contracts with public contracting authorities (public tenders).

Civil Litigation

Our Commercial team includes experts that represent clients in legal and arbitration proceedings at both national and international levels. Our primary objective is to prevent disputes by preparing quality contracts, including the selection of the correct dispute resolution mechanism. In situations where a dispute has already arisen, we assist our clients in assessing their legal position and preparing an effective and efficient procedural strategy. We seek not only to secure victory for the client, but, as part of the procedural strategy, also to consider the client’s wider commercial goals to the maximum possible extent and limit the costs incurred on the dispute.
