Our clients

Who we help

A legal dispute is always stressful and a drain on time and resources. But failing to defend your rights is even more costly. A well-crafted strategy, properly prepared documents, and an experienced attorney in the courtroom can make the difference between winning and losing a case where the facts are on your side.

Commercial disputes

Companies and entrepreneurs

We represent clients in disputes with counterparties, partners, tenants, and government agencies in commercial courts.

Civil disputes

Individuals

We defend property, contractual, inheritance, and labor rights in court—from the trial court all the way to the Supreme Court.

Administrative disputes

Business and citizens

We challenge decisions made by state authorities, local governments, and regulatory agencies in administrative courts.

Enforcement proceedings

Creditors and debtors

We offer negotiation, mediation, or litigation—whichever approach yields the best outcome in your situation.

Areas of Focus

From the first hearing to the enforcement of the judgment—representation in any court

  • Property, contractual, inheritance, family, labor, housing, and land disputes, as well as claims for damages—we protect your rights at every stage.

     

    We draft complaints, answers, counterclaims, motions for preliminary injunctions, and appeals and cassation petitions. We represent you in court, build a case, and monitor your opponent’s actions.

     

    Securing a claim is particularly important. Seizing the defendant’s property or accounts before a judgment becomes final ensures actual enforcement. We do this quickly and with sound legal grounds so that your victory isn’t just on paper.

  • Commercial litigation is designed for business. Cases are heard more quickly, but procedural standards are stricter: the quality of the pleadings, the evidence, and the legal arguments must be flawless from the very first hearing. Most categories of cases require mandatory pre-trial settlement, and this stage directly influences the position taken in court.

     

    We handle commercial cases involving: debt collection under commercial contracts, the invalidation or termination of contracts, compensation for damages and lost profits, and corporate disputes.

     

    A properly prepared commercial complaint is not just a text. It is a structure of evidence, a precise calculation of claims, references to Supreme Court case law, and arguments that guide the judge in rendering a decision.

  • Administrative litigation is the protection of your rights against government actions. If a government agency, public official, or local government body has made a decision that violates your rights, you have the right to challenge it in administrative court. This applies to tax disputes, land issues, decisions by registration authorities, actions by regulatory bodies, decisions by the Tax Code Commission, and refusals to provide administrative services.

     

    The deadlines for appealing government decisions are strictly limited—usually ranging from one to six months. Missing a deadline requires a separate justification. We monitor these deadlines and file documents on time.

    It is particularly important to suspend the contested decision before it becomes legally binding. This is critical in cases where the enforcement of an unlawful decision could cause irreparable harm. We ensure the timely and well-founded filing of such motions to protect your rights.

  • Going to court isn’t always the best option: it takes time, money, and a lot of stress. Well-conducted negotiations often yield faster and more favorable results, especially when the parties are interested in preserving their business or personal relationships.

     

    We negotiate on behalf of the client, prepare legally sound claims and proposals, and draft and agree upon the terms of settlement agreements. Even if proceedings have already been initiated, a settlement agreement can be concluded and approved by the court at any stage, allowing the case to be quickly closed on mutually acceptable terms.

     

     

    Where pre-trial settlement has not yielded results, the preparatory work becomes an additional argument in court.

  • The quality of procedural documents directly influences the outcome of a case. The judge forms an initial impression of a party’s position even before the hearing begins—based on the complaint or the answer. A poorly argued complaint or answer that lacks references to relevant case law is a losing position even before the first word is spoken in the courtroom.

     

     

    We prepare: complaints and counterclaims, answers and objections to claims, motions for preliminary injunctions and interim measures, appeals against decisions of local courts, cassation appeals to the Supreme Court based on exceptional legal issues, and motions for reconsideration of decisions based on newly discovered circumstances.

     

    All documents are prepared in accordance with the current legal positions of the Grand Chamber and the cassation courts of the Supreme Court as of 2025–2026.

  • Losing at the trial court is not the end. Appeals and cassation proceedings allow for the correction of judicial errors in the application of the law or the assessment of evidence.

     

    The Court of Appeals reviews the case in its entirety and may overturn or modify the decision, while the Supreme Court, in cassation proceedings, reviews the correct application of legal provisions and may remand the case for a new trial or issue a new decision.

     

    Appeal deadlines are limited, so we help prepare high-quality appeals on time to ensure effective protection of your interests.

     

    Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

  • A court ruling in your favor does not automatically mean money in your account or the return of your property. Enforcement proceedings are a separate process that requires active participation.

     

    We oversee enforcement through private enforcement agents and the State Enforcement Service, file motions to initiate enforcement proceedings, monitor the actions of enforcement agents, challenge their inaction or unlawful actions, and utilize mechanisms to locate and seize the debtor’s property.

     

    Conversely, if enforcement proceedings have been initiated against you based on a groundless or unlawful decision, we defend you against collection, challenge the court’s decision, and seek to have the proceedings closed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We represent clients in courts of all levels and specializations.

  • During the consultation, we review the documents, analyze the facts of the case, and determine which legal provisions apply. Our assessment of the case’s prospects is not a guarantee of a specific outcome, but rather an honest analysis of the chances based on the documents and current case law. We do not take on cases that are clearly without merit, and we are upfront about this.

  • In most cases, yes—provided the other party is genuinely willing to negotiate. An out-of-court settlement saves time, money, and stress. Moreover, well-conducted negotiations with legal support often yield a better financial outcome than a court ruling, which still needs to be enforced.

  • Yes, we provide legal advice, conduct negotiations, and reach settlement agreements when it is in the client’s best interest.

  • It depends on the type of case, its complexity, the number of court levels involved, and the scope of work. We provide a transparent quote after reviewing the case materials—either an hourly rate or a fixed fee per project, depending on the type of case. There are no hidden costs throughout the process.

  • Yes, at any stage. We quickly review the case materials and step into the process without losing ground. Sometimes, changing lawyers midway through a case provides a fresh perspective on the strategy and radically changes the outcome.

  • It makes sense if the court erred in applying the law, misinterpreted the evidence, or violated procedural rules. We analyze the decision and honestly assess the prospects for an appeal. If there are no grounds for an appeal, we say so directly. If there are grounds, we prepare a well-reasoned appeal.

  • Initiate enforcement proceedings—either through a private enforcement agent or the State Enforcement Service. At the same time, place a lien on the debtor’s accounts and property. We are familiar with the current mechanisms for compulsory collection and apply them comprehensively. Having a court judgment is a legal advantage that must be properly leveraged.

  • Yes. Drafting a cassation appeal requires not only knowledge of procedural rules, but also an understanding of the types of cases the Supreme Court accepts for review and the arguments it considers compelling. We draft cassation appeals taking into account current admissibility criteria and the legal positions of the cassation courts.

  • We represent companies and executives in commercial and corporate disputes, including matters related to contracts, debt collection, and the resolution of conflicts with counterparties.

  • Yes, we offer online and in-person consultations with a guarantee of confidentiality.

  • We guarantee a professional approach, an experienced team, and a tailored strategy; however, the outcome depends on the specific circumstances of the case.
