WHO ARE WE AND WHY WOULD YOU DO BUSINESS WITH US?
Frans & Associates offers the best of both worlds to its clients, professional expertise at the highest level and a personal approach. The firm provides pragmatic advice to achieve top-notch results. We offer our clients personal attention and assistance, resulting in prompt and high-quality legal advice. As a consequence, we have long standing relationships with many of our clients. Clients praise our firm for our all-round one-stop-shop capabilities and our commercial expertise. The firm maintains efficient and productive contacts locally and internationally.
Frans &Associates has a new business model which is designed for entrepreneurs and startups looking for an alternative to the big law firms. Here’s how we are different:
- We only have senior attorneys who are responsible for your project. Each member of our team has vast legal experience. .Your project will be assigned to an experienced attorney who will give you the hands-on, personal attention that you’re looking for. This senior attorney will be your contact person and will be the one supervising the work eventually done by junior attorneys and paralegals.
- We only do one thing. Unlike the big law firms (which have many different departments and specialties), we are laser-focused on one thing: providing corporate legal services and other related to entrepreneurs and their companies. Accordingly, we know how to get corporate projects done quickly and efficiently because that’s what we do.
- We are lean by design. We have stripped-out the huge overhead costs of the big law firms (such as expensive office space, large support staffs and highly-paid young lawyers) and are passing the savings on to our clients. We understand that entrepreneurs and startups are tired of paying their lawyers for needless overhead and overstaffed projects.
- We love helping entrepreneurs. We recognize that entrepreneurs are a special breed with special needs. That’s why our entire practice is built around helping entrepreneurs and their companies both locally and internationally— and that’s why we’re always available (via email or telephone) and pride ourselves on our responsiveness. Indeed we pride ourselves in helping entrepreneurs succeed. Their success is our success.
Practice areas
Business
Market developments, globalization and changing laws and regulations constantly force companies to make strategic decisions, adjust the way they do business, or review their corporate structure.
These are often decisions that rely on legal expertise. This may involve supervising mergers and acquisitions, structuring joint ventures, setting up companies, or advising on corporate governance. It is often about complex structures – particularly in international cases. The quality of the decision making process in each instance relies on access to broad knowledge, insight and experience, combined with a solution-based approach.
FRANS & ASSOCIATES provides this knowledge, insight and experience.
We’re strong in tailor-made solutions. But we’re also pragmatic and we don’t make matters any more complicated than they are. We add value in cases that are complex, and those that are less complex.
Lawsuits & Disputes
Legal proceedings, sometimes, are unavoidable. It is a case of ‘drawing a line in the sand’. Our clients want a result, not a surprise. They want a result that meets their expectations. A ruling or settlement that allows them to return their attention to their business. That is why we tailor our approach to the situation. Aggressive when called for, and more relaxed where lenience is felt to serve the end result better.
Real Estate
Real estate (investment) funds, financers, developers, government, contractors and other market players face challenging market conditions, demanding stakeholders, and often complex disputes.
Legal and tax frameworks play a crucial role in this interplay of interests. Deals are negotiated through tough bargaining and where a dispute arises, major interests are at stake. FRANS & ASSOCIATES focuses on contributing to clients’ objectives by coming up with solutions, instead of focusing on the problem. We combine our legal advice with practical, hands-on transaction guidance and we bring solutions that shrink the problem.
Insurance
The insurance market is dominated by increasing regulation, an ever growing number of claims, and litigation.. It is a market that offers space for innovative ideas, but also one that is constantly evolving. We have many years of experience in most forms of insurance.. We also have extensive (litigation) experience with respect to business liability including professional, administrative, medical, corporate or product liability. We assist our clients with knowledge and insights that are deeply rooted in the market, either with assertive legal proceedings or innovative advice.
