After your enquiry

From initial assessment to enforcement

Cross-border matters follow a comparable sequence. It begins with an assessment rather than an action, and ends with the question of how a decision can actually be enforced.

  1. 01

    Clarify the facts and jurisdiction

    We establish the sequence of events, the people and companies involved and the countries concerned. This identifies the courts that may have jurisdiction and the law likely to apply.

  2. 02

    Set the strategy and sequence

    Where several forums are available, the order of action often affects the outcome. We assess where to act first and which steps can usefully proceed in parallel.

  3. 03

    Proceed in the countries concerned

    Representation in court is undertaken by professionals admitted locally. We coordinate that work and remain your central point of contact.

  4. 04

    Pursue recovery and enforcement

    A judgment is only as useful as its enforceability. We assess at an early stage where assets are located and which enforcement routes the circumstances allow.

Trust. Clarity. Working together.

Law knows no borders. Trust finds solutions.

Cross-border matters call for a clear understanding of contracts, payment routes, evidence and jurisdiction. Whether you suspect fraud, face a business dispute or have a personal concern, we begin with your situation and the outcome you seek. Together, we clarify which documents are needed, which deadlines matter and which next steps may be available. Where a matter involves more than one country, the relevant jurisdictions and procedures also need consideration. Before any engagement, responsibility, the scope of work, fees and terms are discussed separately. This gives you a clear basis for your decision and helps you understand which information is important for the way forward.
