Litigation
Litigation lawyer in Luxembourg
When a dispute cannot be settled amicably, the firm represents you and defends your interests before the Luxembourg courts, always favouring the most effective route for you.
Litigation covers the proceedings that allow a dispute to be decided by a judge. In Luxembourg, it follows strict procedural rules and time limits.
The firm first assesses your prospects and the cost/benefit balance, then advises you on whether to negotiate, mediate or bring court action.
The need
A client fails to pay, a partner breaches their commitments, a dispute threatens your business.
Starting proceedings without a strategy or an assessment of your prospects can cost a great deal for nothing.
The risk
Many actions are locked into limitation or forfeiture periods: once that deadline passes, the right to act is lost.
Badly started proceedings, poorly presented evidence or late submissions can lose an otherwise strong case.
Our role
Assessment of prospects, procedural strategy, drafting of pleadings and representation before the competent courts.
The firm favours negotiated solutions where they better serve your interests, without giving up firmness in proceedings.

What are the time limits to act in Luxembourg?
The time limits to act vary with the nature of the dispute. Some actions, in employment law in particular, become time-barred quickly, so it is important to seek advice without delay.
