Our attorneys specialize in Business Law and Supreme Court litigation.

Business law in general and company law, mergers and acquisitions, commercial contracts and dispute resolution in the corporate sphere are our focus points. With a former dean of the bar of the Supreme Court and an attorney at the Supreme Court in our ranks, we also have excellent expertise in cassation proceedings. Both cassation specialists contributed to a reference work on “The Cassation Appeals”, to be published soon.
