Corporate/ business law

Our experts

Knowledge and extensive experience acquired in the broadly understood business law allows us to accurately identify the needs of our clients and propose solutions that protect their interests to the highest degree.

When preparing solutions for the customer, our goal is primarily to identifyall possible risks and to secure the client against them. Such risks can includethe failure to accomplish the contract, delayed payments or the tax-relatedhazards. Years of experience in both drawingup professional contracts and in representing customers in court have taught us that a carefully designed and prudently formulated contract reduces the risk related to the potential non-performance of the contract by the contractor and the initiation of the court case, thus reducing operating costs. Therefore the approach we recommend to our clients is prevention.
