Practice Areas
Dispute Resolution(negotiation; preservation, litigation, and enforcement; debt collection)
Our firm has worked on various litigation, arbitration, and negotiation matters. In addition to general civil and commercial matters such as debt collection and claims for damages, we also have a broad range of experience handling specialized disputes such as those related to intellectual property rights (please see the “Intellectual Property Rights” page) and labor (please see the “Labor and Employment” page).
For a company to satisfy its accountability and duty of care to its shareholders, a company must be assertive when responding to an action taken by administrative or tax authorities. Our firm has experience filing objections and administrative litigations against administrative agencies, and we enjoy a stellar reputation from the viewpoint of compliance.
We provide comprehensive support for dispute resolution that includes not only the enforcement of rights but also the preservation of rights as the need arises.
We are particularly adept at negotiating out of court and quickly resolving disputes before they ever turn into litigation. We will, of course, ensure that our clients’ intentions are taken into account every step of the way.
In addition to domestic cases, we also handle international matters such as international arbitrations and negotiate on behalf of our clients in their disputes with foreign companies.
