General corporate and commercial law has been traditionally one of the mainstays of our firm and comprises a significant part of our work, both for national and international clients. The field is very broad, and we take special pride in our detailed and deep knowledge of the law and in our firm’s many contributions in its development, be it through contributions to law commissions or through court judgments on disputed issues.
Within this context we provide not only one-off advice but also regular advice on day-to-day and extraordinary issues, often through secondment of our lawyers to undertakings active in various industries.
