Document overseen by a lawyer
Service agreement in Luxembourg
The firm drafts your service agreement: scope, price, deadlines, liability, confidentiality and intellectual property, with no grey areas.
Legal content reviewed by Maître Cora Maglo, Avocate à la Cour, Liste I du Barreau de Luxembourg depuis 2009.
A service agreement is essential for service providers and their clients alike: it defines who does what, at what price and with what guarantees.
Cerno is a law firm admitted to the Luxembourg Bar; its digital tools only simplify information gathering, qualification of the matter and tracking of requests, never replacing the lawyer’s advice. The firm secures the key clauses to avoid disputes over scope and payment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the deliverables of a service engagement?
It depends on the contract. In the absence of a clear clause, disputes arise. The firm sets out precisely the assignment or licensing of the rights.
Can the provider’s liability be limited?
Yes, within certain legal limits. A well-drafted liability clause is essential on the provider’s side.
Is a confidentiality clause necessary?
It is strongly recommended as soon as sensitive information is exchanged.

Testimonials
What our clients say
Had a consultation with Me Cora Maglo about my Luxembourg Blue Card application. She explained everything clearly: the process, timeline and documents I need, and helped me with my wife’s family reunification too. Honest and practical advice. I felt confident after talking to her.Farshid Pourlatifi
J’ai beaucoup apprécié le service de Maître Maglo : son sérieux, sa sympathie, son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité. Toujours répondu rapidement et clairement, avec des conseils pragmatiques, sans pousser à des procédures longues et coûteuses lorsqu’elles ne sont pas justifiées.Nathan Wirtzfeld
Super assistance and great support! Highly recommend. All my questions were answered, Cora and her team kept me updated all the time. I will definitely reach out to them next time for my residency.Tatiana
