Contract law

Our clients in matters related to commercial contracts primarily include domestic and foreign groups, small and medium-sized enterprises, companies with a cross-border reach or planning cross-border expansion.

Our approach

At the heart of any successful business lies a robust set of agreements. Failure to enter into a written contract or adapt it to the actual situation and future conditions can lead to conflicts and significant financial losses. Our team holds extensive knowledge and experience in preparing and negotiating complex cross-border commercial contracts in various business sectors. This allows us to anticipate potential risks and minimise them in our contracts.

Our cross-border team is well-versed in the specifics of different business sectors, ensuring smooth alignment of contracts with the business needs of our clients in international environments. We prioritise drafting cooperation contracts that facilitate the development of mutually beneficial relationships, rather than hindering economic activities due to legal nuances.

resolving disputes both before and during court proceedings;
training in contract law.

In addition, we have supported our customers with issues, such as:

preparing legal analyses concerning the business environment and overviews of market regulation (e.g. when launching new products and expanding into new markets), assessing and advising on the compliance of activities;
