Contract law
Do you want to withdraw from an existing contract? Would you like to have a contract reviewed or a tailor-made new contract drawn up by an expert? Do you need to create new General Terms and Conditions, or do you wish to have the existing General Terms and Conditions reviewed?
In the enthusiasm of buying a house, at the launch of a construction project, when starting a new job or hiring a new employee, the importance of a contract can sometimes be overlooked. Understandably, one does not want to think about the risks in this moment of happiness, but beware: do not sign a contract in haste. A brief consultation and a critical review of the contract by experts can help you avoid potential inconveniences and future problems.
Our lawyers have many years of experience in contract law. We will be happy to advise you before the conclusion of a contract or support you in dissolving existing contracts without prejudice or, if this is not an option, to at least limit the damage as much as possible.
Rental law / Tenancy law
Our team will advise you on the contents of the rental agreement and on the associated obligations and rights. We will answer your questions regarding commercial tenancy law, residential law, shared housing law and all legal aspects of tenancy law.
