Arbitration – A Fast and Confidential Solution for Business Disputes

In business, disputes can pose significant financial risks and disrupt operations. Arbitration offers an efficient and expedient way to resolve conflicts without the prolonged timelines of traditional litigation.

In arbitration, the parties agree that any disputes will be handled by an arbitration tribunal rather than a court. This process provides several advantages:

Speed – Arbitration typically takes a few months to a year, whereas court proceedings can last for several years.
Confidentiality – Unlike public court cases, arbitration remains strictly confidential, protecting trade secrets and business reputations.
Expertise – Parties can select arbitrators with specialized knowledge in the relevant legal or business field, ensuring well-informed decision-making.
Finality – Arbitration awards are binding and are often enforced more swiftly than court rulings.

We provide comprehensive support throughout the arbitration process, including:

Drafting and negotiating arbitration agreements
Legal advice and strategic planning for the arbitration process
Representation in arbitration proceedings
Enforcement of arbitration awards

Arbitration is particularly suitable for commercial contract disputes, where parties wish to avoid lengthy and costly court litigation.

Public Procurement and Competition Law – Expert Legal Support for Your Business

Public procurement is a highly regulated process, where municipalities and state authorities must comply with EU procurement directives and national procurement laws. Public entities are required to treat all bidders fairly, transparently, and without discrimination. However, procurement processes can sometimes lead to uncertainties and disputes, for instance, if your company’s bid has not been properly evaluated or if a procurement decision has been made in violation of regulations.

We provide expert and practical legal assistance to businesses in all matters related to public procurement and competition law. Our services include:

Filing a request for rectification with the contracting authority if the procurement decision has been made unlawfully or if irregularities are detected in the tendering process.
Market Court proceedings, if further legal action is required and a rectification request has not resolved the issue.
Advisory services on procurement processes, helping your business successfully participate in tenders and comply with all necessary requirements.
Competition law assessments, in cases where there are concerns about unfair market practices or if your business faces competition law challenges.

Navigating public procurement regulations can be complex and time-consuming. With expert legal support, you can ensure that your business’s rights are upheld and that decision-making remains transparent.
