Services · Our approach
Prevent.
Clarify.
Support.
Many legal issues cost less, or never arise at all, when they are looked at in time: review before signing, assess before deciding.
When a dispute already exists, we explain the situation, the options and the risks, and support the client until the matter is concluded.
01
Legal opinions and advice
Analysis of a specific issue and an explanation, in writing or at a meeting, of the legal framework and the options.
02
Contracts and documents
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts, agreements, internal rules and other legal documents.
03
Ongoing legal advice (retainers)
Continuous, personalised support for companies and management bodies on day-to-day matters and on decisions with legal impact, particularly in human resources, contracts, commercial and company law and litigation management.
04
Negotiation and settlements
Taking part in negotiations and in the search for out-of-court solutions, including mediation, where that route is appropriate.
05
Litigation
Representation before the courts and in administrative offence proceedings.
06
Prevention and compliance
Review of internal procedures and documentation, to identify risks and meet the applicable legal obligations.

Discharge of remaining liabilities: the debtor's conduct before, during and after the assignment period
The discharge of remaining liabilities allows an individual declared insolvent to be released from the debts left unpaid, with some exceptions. For three years, the debtor hands over to a trustee the income above what is needed for a dignified life and must meet duties laid down by law. The final discharge depends on that conduct.
PER, PEAP or insolvency: which route to take when debts pile up?
When a business or a household can no longer pay its debts, the law provides tools for negotiating with creditors before insolvency. The choice depends on who the debtor is and on when action is taken.
Privacy policy: what the GDPR requires and the most common mistakes
A privacy policy is the usual way of meeting the duty to inform people about the processing of their personal data. A generic text, or one copied from another website, rarely reflects what a business actually does with data.
