Below we have gathered the questions our clients ask most often, together with our answers. The answers are for general information only and do not constitute legal advice on your specific circumstances.
How should I prepare for an initial legal consultation?
Bringing all documents relating to the matter (contracts, official letters, court notices, correspondence) together with a short chronological summary makes the consultation far more effective. Telling us clearly what outcome you are seeking helps us propose the most suitable solution.
How are legal fees determined?
Our firm works on three bases: a long-term retainer (a fixed monthly fee), project-based work (an agreed fixed amount) and hourly work (billed for time spent). The basis is chosen according to the complexity of the matter, the timeframe and the resources required. We provide a specific fee proposal after the first meeting.
What types of cases and disputes do you handle?
We represent clients in civil and administrative cases, as well as corporate, labour and family law disputes. We also act in mediation proceedings and at the enforcement stage of court judgments.
What is mediation, and how does it compare with going to court?
Mediation is a process in which the parties settle their dispute out of court by agreement, with the involvement of a neutral mediator. It is generally faster and less expensive than court proceedings and better suited to preserving the relationship between the parties. We advise on which route fits the particular dispute.
What support do you provide when setting up a company?
We assist with incorporating a legal entity, drafting the charter and founding documents, registering with the state registry, preparing shareholders’ agreements, adopting internal rules and, where required, obtaining special licences. We also prepare documents for corporate restructuring and dissolution.
Do I need a lawyer to review a contract before signing?
Yes. Identifying contractual risk in advance is far cheaper and faster than resolving a dispute later. We particularly recommend professional review of limitation-of-liability provisions, payment terms, termination procedures and dispute-resolution clauses.
Where can an employment dispute be resolved?
An employment dispute can be resolved by negotiation with the employer, through the labour dispute settlement commission, or in court. The right route depends on the type of dispute, the state of the evidence and the applicable time limits. We identify the strategy that fits the situation and act as your representative.
What can be done if a court judgment is not complied with?
Where a judgment is not complied with, enforcement proceedings can be commenced. We obtain the writ of execution, apply to the enforcement authority, help establish assets and represent clients throughout the enforcement process.

How is client information kept confidential?
