Commercial
litigation

Commercial parties constantly enter into contracts in the course of their business activities. The law prescribes what rights and obligations parties have in that context, but also provides parties with freedom of contract.

Even when parties have carefully recorded their agreements, disputes can arise. These often concern the interpretation of a provision in the contract or ambiguity about the nature of the agreement itself. Also (non)fulfillment of agreements, suspension of obligations, dissolution of the contract and damages resulting from omissions of a contracting party are regularly the cause of a dispute.

We have knowledge of business interests and can advise you on the content of your agreements. As litigators, we also have the specialized knowledge and strategic experience necessary to reach an appropriate solution with your opposing party – preferably outside, but if necessary in court.

We have extensive experience in cases involving the question of qualification of agreements. With our broad background, we often bring a perspective beyond existing frameworks. On several occasions, court decisions in our cases have been referenced in other rulings.

We have experience with many types of agreements, including agreements for services, purchase agreements, brokerage agreements, construction agreements, surety agreements, loan agreements and settlement agreements.
