Law of Obligations

Drafting and legal review of contracts and legal transactions, as well as legal advice and support in relation to domestic and cross-border contracts, contractual breaches, claims for damages, torts and other non-contractual obligations.

Contracts are the foundation of business relationships. Sound legal advice at the drafting stage prevents disputes later on — and when a dispute does arise, it ensures your interests are effectively protected.

Our services

  • Drafting and reviewing commercial, supply, service and loan agreements
  • Representing clients in contract negotiations
  • Breach of contract and damages claims
  • Tort (non-contractual damage) and other non-contractual obligations
  • Claims for compensation of non-pecuniary (moral) damage
  • Cross-border contracts and choice of governing law

Our approach

We explain contractual risks in plain language and set out the alternatives and their consequences. When a dispute arises, we first assess the options for a negotiated settlement and, where necessary, represent you in court and in arbitration.

Preparing for your consultation

If you attach the documents you have to your request, your lawyer will review them before the meeting:

  • The contract with all its annexes and amendments
  • Correspondence between the parties: emails, letters, messages
  • Payment records: invoices, receipts, bank transfers
  • Acceptance certificates and other documents confirming performance
  • Claim letters sent to or received from the other party
  • If the contract has not been signed yet: the latest draft and the terms that matter most to you

You can still contact us if you do not have all of them. We will identify what is missing together.

Frequently asked questions

What claims are available when a contract is breached?

Depending on the circumstances, you may seek specific performance, compensation for losses, payment of a contractual penalty, or termination of the contract. We assess the available legal remedies and recommend the most appropriate course of action based on the contractual terms and available evidence.

Can I claim compensation for moral (non-pecuniary) damage?

Yes, in the cases provided for by law. The amount of compensation depends on the specific circumstances of the case.

How long does a pre-signing contract review take?

A review of a standard contract usually takes a few business days. For complex or multi-party agreements we agree the timeline with you in advance.
