Our services in the field
Consultation on litigation strategy
We believe that the secret to successful litigation is a well-developed litigation strategy and knowledge of the rules of civil procedure. Accordingly, we pay particular attention to the development of litigation tactics and pre-trial work.
In order to ensure the successful outcome of the disciplined and focused litigation required by the new Code of Civil Procedure, we gather the relevant facts beforehand, conduct a detailed analysis of the legal situation, assess the available evidence and estimate the expected costs.
Litigation in employment disputes
Labour disputes typically arise between employers and employees. These disputes usually consist of disagreements over pay, benefits, terms and conditions of employment and the number of hours worked per week.
We have extensive experience representing employers and understand the risks and considerations that drive companies into conflicts with employees. We know that unresolved labour disputes can lead to strikes or work disruption. These actions can have consequences for the employer, including loss of profits, lack of production or forced closures. However, we have experience on both sides l and often act on the employee side, representing clients in cases of unlawful termination and other employer actions, e.g. against violations of the principle of equal treatment.
Litigation in civil and commercial disputes
In civil and commercial litigation, we act on behalf of our clients, whether in the capacity of the plaintiff or defendant, providing comprehensive services.
Our litigation services cover all areas of commercial law, with decades of litigation experience in tort litigation, warranty claims and inter-company settlement disputes.
Litigation in administrative disputes
In administrative litigation, the court reviews the legality of administrative procedures, i.e. the conformity with the law of administrative acts (typically a decision on a matter of public authority) taken by the administrative authorities.
The subject of the proceedings may be any administrative act and failure to comply with a statutory obligation.
We regularly represent clients in tax, public contracts, construction, transport and land registry litigation.
Representation in front of the Public Service Arbitration Board
The public service complaint is a means of enforcing claims against employer measures, which is adjudicated by the Public Service Arbitration Board - a forum for appeal before a court. Therefore, the Public Service Arbitration Board is a remedial forum prior to a labor dispute before a court.
The persons entitled to submit a complaint are government officials falling within the scope of Act CXXV of 2018 on the Government Administration. According to the provisions of the Act, any claim arising from a government service employment relationship can be asserted before the Arbitration Board. The complaint can be submitted within thirty days of delivery of the document related to the alleged employer measure. Typical documents subject to complaint include those related to the termination or cessation of a government service employment relationship, written demands for elimination of conflicts of interest, performance evaluations, and decisions made in disciplinary and compensation cases.
We effectively represent our clients before the Arbitration Board. The procedure is free of charge and costs. In case of an erroneous or flawed decision, we take the judicial route. If the Arbitration Board was not constituted properly or if an excluded person participated in the decision-making process, the court obliges the Arbitration Board to conduct a new procedure and make a new decision. In case of any other procedural irregularities, the entire procedure must be repeated in the court proceedings.
