Arbeitsweise

The Five Stages of an Engagement

Each stage ends with a defined outcome, allowing you to see the progress of your matter at any time.

  1. 01

    Clarifying the Facts and Objectives

    Initial Consultation

    We establish the facts, review contracts, insurance policies and correspondence, and define the commercial outcome the engagement is intended to achieve. Outcome: clear objectives, an overview of deadlines and a document checklist.

  2. 02

    Assessing the Legal Position, Evidence and Risks

    Analysis

    Review of the legal bases for claims, coverage and policy terms, case law and the available evidence, including limitation periods and time limits that extinguish rights. Outcome: a sound assessment of prospects, risks and costs.

  3. 03

    Agreeing the Approach and Costs

    Strategy

    We recommend the route offering the best balance of effort and benefit—an out-of-court solution, negotiation, mediation or proceedings—and transparently agree the process, timetable and fees. Outcome: a written recommendation on the approach, with an indicative cost range.

  4. 04

    Resolutely Representing Your Interests

    Implementation

    Contract drafting, letters of claim, negotiations and representation before courts and authorities, with ongoing updates on every relevant step. Outcome: an enforceable result or a workable settlement.

  5. 05

    Securing the Outcome and Preventing Recurrence

    Follow-up

    Implementing the settlement, monitoring payment and performance deadlines and, where appropriate, adapting contracts, terms or internal procedures. Outcome: implementation secured and reduced follow-on risk.
