Strategic advice and tailor-made solutions

In complex legal disputes, we offer strategic advice and tailor-made solutions to suit the specific needs of your business. Our lawyers work closely with you to achieve the best possible outcome.

How do we proceed?

01
First contact
You contact us with a question or problem. During this first conversation, we listen to your story, situate the legal framework, and indicate what documents or additional information we still need.
02
Thorough consultation
We schedule a consultation, either at our office or via Teams. In that meeting, after an initial study of the initial documents available, we take the time to fully understand the situation, ask the right questions and get the facts clear. A good analysis starts with a good understanding of the facts.
03
Analysis and first action
Based on that information, we make a legal assessment of your position. This may lead to the drafting of a notice of default, a settlement proposal or the drafting of a summons in order to capture the court.
04
Follow-up steps
After that initial action - such as a formal notice - we evaluate together any response or lack thereof. Sometimes a supplementary letter suffices. In other cases, a (legal) procedure is still appropriate. Everything happens in consultation, with an eye for your goals and interests.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need a lawyer in court?

You are not obliged to hire a lawyer in many cases, but it is strongly recommended. Legal proceedings are bound by strict rules in the Judicial Code. These rules determine how and when litigation should take place: think about calendars of conclusions, formal requirements for documents or deadlines for lodging an appeal. Those who do not apply these rules correctly risk serious consequences such as procedural delays, inadmissibility of the claim or even loss of rights.

What specifically does a lawyer do during court proceedings?

In commercial litigation, there is more involved than just pleading a case. A lawyer will analyse your case legally and factually, advise you on the strengths and risks of your position, draft the necessary procedural documents (such as subpoenas, briefs, bundles of documents), and argue the case in court according to the applicable rules.

Do I have to be present at the hearing myself?

In civil and commercial cases, your personal presence at the hearing is often not mandatory, unless the court expressly summons you. In most cases, you will be represented by a lawyer at the hearing.

However, your involvement remains important, even if you do not or cannot be physically present. Therefore, the course of the hearing, possible questions and events will be discussed well in advance.
