Litigation is a business decision first

Croatian proceedings can run for years, and the cost is not only legal fees: disputes tie up management time, capital and commercial relationships. Before any claim is filed, we give clients a realistic view of prospects, duration and cost, and weigh settlement, mediation and arbitration against litigation.

When proceedings are the right call, we run them thoroughly: every hearing prepared, interim measures and enforcement planned from the outset. Because the same partners work on transactions, we know how warranties, liability caps and exit clauses are read once a relationship breaks down, and we feed that experience back into the contracts we draft.
