Our clients include Fintech’s, largest telecommunications companies, one of the world’s largest gambling operator, one of the largest railway companies in the Asian Region. ECOVIS ProventusLaw is also happy to assist smaller entities – we are active in protecting their interests in different complex cases.
Although our experience in a courtroom could be measured in thousands of hours, we find our work before entering a courtroom even more significant. First, we help you to find out whether litigation or arbitration in your case is the most efficient choice for you and whether the result pursued is worth your investment.
In disputes, we take only such tactical decisions which are necessary for achieving the goal and which are most effective – we think proactively about the client’s cost management. We represent clients in pre-trial bodies and in courts of all instances.
