🔍 What we do at the pre-trial stage

Our goal is to resolve the dispute as quickly and cost-effectively as possible, if it is realistic to do so without going to court.

• Contract and situation analysis – we review the contract, correspondence, acts, invoices, specifications, appendices, and internal documents.
• Risk and chances assessment – we estimate the prospects of recovering the debt/damages, possible counterclaims, and the costs of the dispute.
• Claim work – we prepare legally sound claims, requests, and responses to letters from the counterparty.
• Negotiations with the counterparty – we communicate on your behalf, propose options for restructuring, instalments, discounts, settlement agreements.
• Recording violations and collecting evidence – we help properly prepare acts, photo/video evidence, expert opinions, and email correspondence.
• Pre-trial strategy development – we choose between a “hard pressure” scenario, a negotiation format, or a combined approach.
• Preparation for possible litigation – we build an evidence base so that, if necessary, a lawsuit can be filed quickly.

🏛️ What we do during court proceedings

If an agreement cannot be reached, we move to a litigation strategy and support you at every stage.

• Determine jurisdiction and venue – we choose the optimal court, considering the parties’ location, contract terms, and court practice.
• Prepare procedural documents – statements of claim, responses, objections, counterclaims, written explanations, motions.
• Interim measures (injunctive relief) – freezing bank accounts and assets, prohibiting registration actions, and other protective measures so that the counterparty cannot “withdraw” assets.
• Court representation – a lawyer’s participation in all hearings (online/offline), examination of witnesses, work with experts.
• Appeals – appellate and cassation complaints, support in all instances.
• Enforcement of the court decision – interaction with state/private enforcement officers, seizure of property and accounts, actual recovery of the debt.
• Support of settlement agreements during litigation – we negotiate and formalize a compromise so that it truly protects your interests.

🎯 How we choose the optimal conflict resolution strategy

1. You describe your situation – who the counterparty is, the history of your relations, and what has already been done.
2. We analyse documents and practice – the contract, acts, correspondence, and court practice in similar disputes.
3. We offer several scenarios –
   “quick settlement”, “hard pre-trial pressure”, “litigation + asset freeze”, or combined options.
4. We calculate the economics – how much time, money, and resources each scenario requires, and what the real chances of success are.
5. We agree on an action plan – you choose the strategy that best fits your business goals, and we implement it.
6. We support you until a real result – we do not stop at a “court decision”, we work until the actual receipt of funds or elimination of risks.
