In these cases and many others i twill be necessary to assert your rights or to resist claims made by others. In any case, our specialists will assist you with determination in order to identify and efficiently realise the best strategy to reach your goals.

Litigation in court or arbitration can prove to be the best and most promising instrument to assert your rights and may sometimes double as an incentive to induce the parties to reach an amicable settlement.
