Representing my clients in legal disputes is one of my key areas of expertise. My expertise in litigation and dispute resolution is grounded in the years I spent in the judiciary: as a trainee judge, I gained practical experience in all court jurisdictions and branches of law, and then, as a court secretary, I independently decided non-contentious matters, in particular enforcement, liquidation and bankruptcy (reorganisation) cases. My experience broadened further when, first as in-house counsel at a bank and then, from 2017, as an attorney-at-law, I successfully represented my clients in numerous civil lawsuits. As in-house counsel at the CIB Group, I also served as head of the litigation team.
I have extensive experience not only in disputes between individuals and businesses, but also in legal remedies against decisions of public authorities.
My main services in this area include:
- pre-litigation work: drafting letters before action (formal demands for payment), negotiating with the opposing party, and assisting in reaching an out-of-court settlement
- representing clients in civil litigation before the ordinary courts and in arbitration, in judicial enforcement proceedings, and in bankruptcy and liquidation proceedings
- representing clients in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) proceedings (e.g. consumer disputes before the Financial Arbitration Board or the consumer conciliation boards)
