Civil and commercial
litigation lawyer in Luxembourg
Contracts, liability, commercial disputes, urgent relief
The firm acts in civil and commercial litigation in Luxembourg, in disputes between individuals, companies or parties bound by a contract.
The work covers the failure to perform an obligation, claims in liability and the ending of a business relationship. Every matter calls for the facts to be established, the evidence assembled, and a judgement made about what a court will accept from it.
The firm represents clients before the civil and commercial courts and, where the situation demands it, applies for the interim measures needed to protect their position.
Matters
Situations in which
the firm acts
-
Breach of contract
Where one party fails to perform its obligations, or performs them badly, several routes are open: compelling performance, claiming damages, or bringing the contract to an end. The firm considers which best serves the interests at stake.
-
Contractual liability
A claim against a contracting party requires fault, loss and the link between them to be established. The firm builds that case from the documents in the file and from the terms of the contract itself, limitation clauses included.
-
Civil liability
Outside any contract, loss caused by the fault, negligence or carelessness of another gives rise to a right to compensation. The firm acts both for the party claiming and for the party whose liability is in question.
-
Terminating a contract
Bringing a contract to an end is subject to precise conditions, often set by the contract itself. A termination that is badly founded exposes the party giving it to a claim for the loss caused: the firm checks the grounds before any notice goes out.
-
Commercial disputes
The ending of an established relationship, disagreement over the quality of a service, unfair competition, a dispute between supplier and distributor: the firm acts in litigation arising from commercial life.
-
Disputes between companies
Where two companies fall out, what is at stake usually goes beyond the sum claimed. The firm weighs the value of a negotiated outcome against what continuing the dispute would cost the commercial relationship.
-
Debts and sums due
A disputed debt is a matter for litigation before it is a matter for recovery. The firm first establishes that the debt is well founded, then applies the procedure suited to its size and nature.
-
Representation before the courts
The firm represents clients before the Luxembourg civil and commercial courts, at first instance and on appeal.
