Litigation and Out-of-Court Dispute Settlement Law

A very important part of the lawyer’s function, as the profession is understood in its traditional sense, is the defence of clients before courts of law and arbitration tribunals.

When out-of-court settlements, which are always desirable, fail, litigation is the only way to satisfy the legitimate claims of companies and individuals.
