Services

Legal help for every need

Whatever legal question is on your desk right now, chances are we have dealt with it before. Support for businesses and private clients alike.

Contract law

We draft, review and negotiate contracts so that your agreements are clear and protect your interests.

We help draft and review sale, service, cooperation, licence and other agreements, assess their risks and, where needed, lead negotiations with the other party. If a contract has already been signed, we help you understand your rights and obligations and resolve disagreements before they reach court.

Employment law

We advise both employers and employees on employment contracts, working relationships and disputes.

We draft and review employment contracts, assess whether a termination is lawful, resolve employment disputes and help companies set clear, workable internal rules. The focus is on preventing risks and on practical solutions that protect your rights and reduce the chance of disputes.

Debt claims

We advise clients on every aspect of debt claims, from assessing whether a claim is valid to recovering it effectively.

We assess the evidence for the claim and whether it is time-barred, prepare payment demands and negotiate a payment schedule or settlement with the debtor. If an out-of-court solution is not possible, we represent you in expedited payment order proceedings, in court and in enforcement proceedings.

Licences

We help clients apply for, amend and renew operating licences.

We prepare the necessary documents, explain the requirements and help build processes that meet the conditions set by law. We support clients in dealings with supervisory authorities, manage the proceedings and help prevent situations where a licence is refused or revoked. Our goal is for our clients’ operations to meet the requirements smoothly and efficiently.

Misdemeanour proceedings

We advise and represent clients in misdemeanour proceedings, including traffic offences, business-related misdemeanours and other proceedings.

We explain how the proceedings work, assess the evidence and identify possible procedural errors. We prepare the necessary statements, challenges and appeals, and make sure our clients’ rights are protected at every stage.

Administrative law

We advise and represent clients in administrative proceedings and in their dealings with the state and local governments.

We assess the lawfulness of administrative acts and measures, prepare challenges and appeals, and manage proceedings concerning permits, precepts, supervision and other decisions of public authorities. We explain our clients’ rights and obligations, identify procedural errors and build a strategy that secures a strong, well-founded position.

AML/KYC

We advise clients on meeting anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) requirements.

We draft and update internal procedures, carry out risk assessments and help build a working compliance framework that meets legal requirements and the expectations of supervisors. We support clients in dealings with the Financial Supervision Authority, the Financial Intelligence Unit and other authorities, prepare the necessary documents and help prevent compliance breaches that could lead to sanctions or reputational damage.

Communication

We advise clients in situations where legal precision and public communication have to go hand in hand.

We prepare clear and effective public statements, positions and explanations grounded in facts, legal arguments and a considered strategy. We help shape messages that reduce reputational and legal risk, support the client’s position and build a credible, professional image. We support clients in dealings with the media, authorities and the public, making sure every message is accurate, understandable and effective.

Real estate / construction law

We advise clients on real estate transactions, ownership, rights of use and property disputes.

We advise clients on real estate transactions, ownership, rights of use and property disputes. We draft and review purchase, lease and use agreements, assess transaction risks and make sure all agreements are clear and lawful. We support clients in dealings with notaries, local authorities and supervisory bodies, and represent them in disputes concerning ownership, boundaries, servitudes, breaches of contract and more.

Business law

We advise companies on their day-to-day and strategic corporate and commercial matters.

We help with setting up, running and restructuring companies, prepare the necessary documents and create clear, workable internal processes. We support management boards and owners in their decisions, assess risks and make sure the company’s activities comply with the law and regulatory requirements.

Disputes

We advise and represent clients in all kinds of disputes, from contractual and commercial disputes to administrative and consumer disputes.

We assess the prospects of the case, build a clear strategy and carry out the necessary negotiations or procedural steps. Our goal is the most effective and practical solution for the client, avoiding unnecessary costs and risks. Where needed, we represent clients in court or in out-of-court proceedings, making sure their rights and interests are protected at every stage.
