Arbitration and Litigation
PRAD Avocats is capable of advising you effectively and of managing all pre-litigation or litigation proceedings, and also of looking after your interests through arbitration in certain business sectors or sensitive cases in which it is common to use arbitration (internal or international arbitration).
Our lawyers know how to anticipate and to grasp accurately any litigious situation so as to advise you on the best possible choice of strategy, so as to help you and negotiate in mediation or arbitration proceedings, and so as to defend or to attack actively in order to preserve your financial interests or your strategic position.
Our experience also enables us as legal advisors to anticipate all litigious situations and to take contractual precautions or to put in place financial mechanisms that are best suited to your needs.
Litigation, in particular business litigation, requires experience of procedural law (for civil, commercial, enforcement, or administrative proceedings) be it for taking urgent action or for taking protective measures, and our lawyers have several years of that experience.
