Dispute Resolution

Not every dispute belongs in court, and not every settlement is a good one. We represent clients in complex commercial disputes - before national courts,

Dispute Resolution covers comparative legal assessment, documentation and coordination across international jurisdictions. It is typically relevant to businesses, investors and families considering a cross-border structure or activity. There is no single offshore regime: legal effects, disclosures, taxation and permissions depend on the selected jurisdiction, relevant residence rules and the facts of each case.

Key points

  • There is no single international or offshore legal regime.
  • Rules are verified for every jurisdiction considered.
  • Beneficial ownership, tax residence and reporting are assessed separately.
  • No tax result, confidentiality, licence or timeline is guaranteed.

Jurisdiction and applicable framework

The law and competent-authority requirements of the selected jurisdiction apply, together with rules in relevant tax-residence and operating jurisdictions. Comparison precedes selection and implementation.

Not every dispute belongs in court, and not every settlement is a good one. We represent clients in complex commercial disputes - before national courts, international arbitral tribunals (ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL), and in mediation - choosing the route that delivers the best combination of speed, enforceability, confidentiality, and cost for the specific matter.

We begin every engagement with a merits-and-risk assessment: what are the chances, what is it worth, how long will it take, and what will it cost. This analysis shapes the strategy - early settlement, mediation, expedited arbitration, or full-scale proceedings.

In cross-border disputes, we manage enforcement under the Brussels I Recast Regulation or the New York Convention, and coordinate with local counsel in jurisdictions where assets are located.
