LITIGATION

According to an old Dutch saying whoever fights over a cow, will loose one (in Dutch: ‘wie pleit om een koe, geeft er één toe’). Our firm’s philosophy is that litigation should be prevented and avoided as much as possible, not only because it is costly and stressful, but also because it distracts you from your business. This can be done by draftingh clear and understandable written agreements, obtaining legal advice before signing an agreement and negotiating in a fair matter. If  litigation cannot be avoided, it should be resolved as quickly as possible, preferably outside of court. This requires not only legal knowhow, but also knowledge of the client’s background and the relevant aspects of the matter.
