Law firm
Lawyer in Luxembourg for companies and individuals
Cerno Law Firm is a law firm admitted to the Luxembourg Bar. We advise and defend companies, directors and individuals in business law, commercial law, corporate law, employment law and litigation.
Looking for a lawyer in Luxembourg to secure a contract, recover a debt, handle a dispute or structure a company? The firm acts at every stage, with one dedicated lawyer from the first meeting to the resolution of your matter.
Our fees are stated before any engagement, as a fixed fee or an indicative range. You know what you pay, why, and what you get in return.
The need
Most directors in Luxembourg have no dedicated lawyer and only call counsel once a problem has already become a dispute.
The result: poorly secured contracts, missed legal deadlines, and decisions taken without visibility on the real legal risk.
The risk of doing nothing
An ambiguous contract, a debt not chased in time or badly handled proceedings can cost far more than a lawyer’s involvement.
In Luxembourg, several actions are locked into strict time limits: once they expire, the right to act is lost.
Our role
The firm identifies the legal issue, secures your documents and defends your interests in negotiation and before the Luxembourg courts.
You stay in control: we explain the options, you decide on an informed basis.
