Practice Areas


Litigation

Our attorneys are admitted to the Bar of the Joint Appeals Court of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. This allows our attorneys to assist and act on behalf of the firm's clients before all ordinary courts and appeal courts in Aruba and the other jurisdictions of the Dutch West Indies.


We will consult with the client to determine the chances of success and the most effective form of litigation for the matter at hand. We will negotiate with the opposing party to evaluate a settlement. Litigation principally involves drafting, preparing and submitting or presenting demands, briefs, writs and motions to the court and supervising and managing the court proceedings on behalf of and in the best interest of the client.
