Dispute Resolution

Disputes can have a lasting impact on a company’s operations, commercial relationships, governance and reputation. Resolving them involves more than conducting court proceedings: it requires the early identification of the key issues, the preservation of rights and evidence, a careful assessment of the risks and the definition of the most appropriate strategy. In an international environment such as Luxembourg, disputes frequently involve multiple parties, jurisdictions or areas of law.

Our Dispute Resolution team advises companies, financial institutions, investment funds, shareholders, directors, public bodies and individuals in domestic and cross-border disputes. We become involved from the pre-litigation stage, analysing the situation, conducting negotiations and seeking an amicable resolution, and, where necessary, representing clients before the Luxembourg courts, arbitral tribunals and other competent bodies. Our work also covers protective measures, the enforcement of decisions and the coordination of proceedings conducted across several jurisdictions. Our specific areas of dispute resolution expertise, presented below, enable us to provide advice tailored to the nature and particular implications of each dispute.

Our team combines extensive litigation experience with an understanding of the economic, financial, regulatory and human implications of each matter. Its availability and ability to mobilise the relevant expertise quickly enables it to act in urgent situations as well as in complex, long-running proceedings. Working with the Firm’s other teams and an international network of partner law firms, it develops a coherent strategy at every stage of the dispute and adapts that strategy as the matter evolves.
