Why Choose Us

Proven Track Record

Strategic Thinking

Case Example

Multi-Million Euro Commercial Dispute

A technology company retained us after a major client breached a software licensing agreement, causing significant financial harm. The opposing party claimed defects in the software justified their actions. Through aggressive discovery, we obtained internal documents demonstrating the breach was motivated by their desire to avoid payment rather than any product defects. Expert testimony supported our damages calculations. Faced with strong evidence, the defendant agreed to a settlement that recovered our client's full damages plus interest and legal fees, avoiding a lengthy trial.
