Overview

We are convinced that helping to avoid court proceedings is our first task. When proceedings cannot be avoided or are preferred over other options, Eubelius is at its best. Since its creation, our firm has achieved a strong track record in virtually all types of litigation, before all kinds of judicial and extrajudicial bodies as well as arbitrators. Our attorneys have litigated landmark cases but also appear in court on a daily basis.

Eubelius’ litigation teams consist of dispute resolution specialists and experts in procedural law technicalities. To us, litigation is not just a separate practice but a skill truly integrated within each practice area. We are convinced that the combination of transactional and advisory assistance with litigation work is an asset.
