Supreme court litigation
Are you considering initiating an appeal to the Supreme Court? Or has the opposing party decided to initiate one and you are considering mounting a defence? Then you can rely on the Supreme Court Litigation attorneys at Wijn & Stael.
From advice in Supreme Court Litigation to legal proceedings
Should you engage our Supreme Court Litigation attorneys then the first thing they will provide you with is thorough advice: what are your chances and the risks associated with bringing an appeal to the Supreme Court? Does it make sense to mount a defence and are there options for initiating a cross-appeal? Should the advice be in your favour, they will undertake the cassation proceedings for you. In doing so, they will not rest until they have found the winning argument and all the documents are perfectly drafted. They work creatively with complete transparency and do not hesitate to venture off the beaten track.
Supreme Court Litigation in civil cases
You can engage our Supreme Court Litigation attorneys for cases in almost all areas of civil law such as insolvency law, financing, securities & leasing, corporate litigation, the law of obligations and labour law. You can start this process already during an appeal, with a view to possible cassation proceedings. Should this be the case, our attorneys will provide you with specific advice to ensure that you are in a stronger position during the proceedings before the Supreme Court. In addition, they can assist you in preliminary reference proceedings at the Dutch Supreme Court. Furthermore, our Supreme Court Litigation attorneys are available to provide an expert opinion on complex legal problems that you could use, for example, in ongoing proceedings.
