Lawsuits & Disputes

Disputes and conflicts can be resolved effectively. The best final result is achieved when the partner is a lawyer who knows the business and has an eye for the game to resolve the conflict in the best possible way for the client.

In a dispute situation, the best option is often to find an amicable solution. Getting to the desired outcome requires good negotiation skills, situational awareness and a winning attitude.

When an amicable solution is not possible, a lawyer is needed who helps not only to resolve the situation effectively but also to prevent the emergence of new problems.

The right moves at the right time

Our dispute resolution practice is known for its ability to make the right moves at the time of resolution. The strategy is chosen based on the principal's goals, always striving for an effective solution. We also know how to minimize the effects of conflict on business, customer relations, work environment and personal life.

Dispute resolution in our practice has extensive expertise and experience in dispute resolution in all areas of business. We have represented our clients in various courts (including administrative and market courts). In addition, our dispute resolution experts have experience in acting as a representative and arbitrator in both national and international arbitration proceedings. In addition, we assist our customers in alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation.

We always use know-how from Lexia's other practices when necessary, so that we can form a team that best serves each client and case.

Mastering the Employment Contracts Act and legal assistance provide certainty and support for decisions and guarantee the best outcome even in possible problem situations.

Reassurance in difficult situations

Our experts serve in all questions related to labor law with long experience in companies of different sizes and operating in different fields.

We see personnel issues as a whole, to which we can give practical advice and the most suitable recommendations for the situation.

Business

The purpose of the company's operations is to generate profit for shareholders. We take this law literally when helping our customers succeed.

Producing Corporate Advisory services requires us to know the client's business. That's why we achieve the best result by creating a long-term continuous service partnership. Examples of our successful customers include Kotipizza and Axopar Boats . Our lawyers participate in the management team work of both companies, providing extensive Corporate Advisory services.

Associations and foundations can also be successful

Although associations and foundations do not pursue profit in their operations, they can also be successful. Success means smooth and controlled operations, a good reputation and working relationships with other organizations.

We are an experienced partner in establishing and managing associations and foundations. We understand tax issues and relations with stakeholders and the public sector.

Transparency is paramount in the operations of foundations and associations. It is demanded by the authorities, investors and donors alike. This ensures the legality and reliability of the operation.

We offer our customers exactly this, predictive management of entities, which guarantees that the organization can focus on its core activities with confidence.
