Civil and Commercial Dispute Resolution
We act for companies and individuals in contract, shareholder, financing and enforcement disputes, before the People’s Courts and in arbitration.
Areas
- Commercial contracts: sale of goods, distribution, agency, construction and supply
- Corporate and shareholder disputes: equity transfers, capital contributions, director liability
- Financing and security: loan, guarantee and factoring disputes; bills and letters of credit
- Enforcement: asset tracing, preservation, and challenges to enforcement
- Labour and executive employment disputes
Approach
We assess early whether a dispute is best resolved by negotiation, mediation, litigation or arbitration, and structure preservation measures accordingly. Our enforcement practice focuses on locating assets and converting judgments into recovery.
