How we work, area by area
Eleven practice areas —
one corridor.
We advise companies with Ukrainian exposure on the sanctions regimes that actually apply to them — EU, UK and US — and on how those regimes differ from one another in practice.
Read moreMost international commercial disputes are decided in private, and the enforceable prize is the award itself. We work on the award and on the part that follows it: recognition and enforcement in the jurisdiction where the assets actually sit.
Read moreA Ukrainian inventor, a Dutch filing, a European patent. The procedural details are unforgiving, and the deadlines are not negotiable.
Read moreCharter arrangements, bills of lading, cargo claims and the disputes that follow them. We act for shipowners, charterers, freight forwarders and the companies that buy their services.
Read moreA Dutch holding structure over Ukrainian operating assets is a common architecture, and it fails in common ways — at the point of funding, at the point of governance, or at the point of enforcement.
Read moreThe question is rarely "can we enter the EU". It is which entity, which regulatory regime, and who carries the risk when the position is challenged.
