Resolution of legal disputes

Support in resolving legal disputes

Legal disputes are one of the most complex and risky areas of business activity. Whether it is a conflict with a counterparty, a labour dispute, a claim from a regulatory authority or a transport incident, companies need clear, strategically thought-out legal protection.

Professional support in litigation not only minimises losses but also prevents the recurrence of risks in the future. Consultant's lawyers provide a full range of services, from analysing evidence and preparing a legal position to representing clients in courts of all instances in Poland.

Initial assessment of the situation and formation of a legal strategy

Any legal process begins with careful analytical work. The success of the entire case depends on the quality of the initial preparation. Before filing a claim or responding to it, the lawyer conducts an in-depth assessment of documents and information to determine the most effective tactics.

At this stage, the lawyer performs the following:

• analysis of the grounds for the dispute, contractual relations and possible violations;
• collection and evaluation of evidence (documents, correspondence, acts, claims);
• determination of the prospects of the dispute and risks for the company;
• preparation of the optimal court strategy: offensive or defensive.

After that, the client receives a clear understanding of the possible outcomes, deadlines, and recommended tactics.

Preparation of procedural documents and submission of the case to court

Once the strategy has been agreed upon, the next stage is to accurately formalise the company's position in legal terms. The quality of the documents directly influences the court's decision, so their preparation requires a high level of expertise.

The lawyer prepares and accompanies:

• statements of claim, objections, motions and responses;
• legal analysis of each aspect of the case with reference to the regulatory framework;
• calculation of damages, penalties, fines and other claims;
• submission of documents to the court and monitoring of their further consideration.

After the case is filed, the client receives regular updates on the progress of the proceedings, court requests and the opponent's response.

Representation in court hearings and protection of the company's interests

The final stage is the lawyer's active work in the court proceedings. This is not just participation in hearings, but comprehensive protection, including convincing arguments, responding to the opponent's actions and defending the client's rights.

Consultant provides:

• participation in court hearings at all levels;
• oral presentation of the position and answers to the court's questions;
• refutation of the opponent's arguments and submission of additional evidence;
• initiation of an appeal or cassation (if necessary);
• monitoring of the execution of the court decision after its adoption.

Such support ensures that the company's interests are protected in the most professional manner and in accordance with Polish law.

Additional nuances that the client should consider

Before the start of the court proceedings, it is important for the client to understand several practical aspects that may affect the outcome of the case, the speed of its consideration, and the overall costs. These nuances are often critical in shaping strategy, so lawyers always pay special attention to them.

1. The quality of the evidence base significantly determines the position of the party in the dispute. The sooner the client provides documents, correspondence, acts, contracts, expert opinions or other materials, the more accurately the lawyer will be able to predict the prospects of the case.
2. It should be borne in mind that court proceedings may be delayed due to the workload of the courts, the need for additional expert opinions or the failure of the parties to appear. This is normal practice, and it is important for the client to be prepared for a potentially longer process.
3. The client should be aware that some of the costs may be reimbursed if the case is won, in particular the costs of legal assistance. However, the court does not always award full compensation, which depends on the nature of the dispute and the specific court.

Finally, the behaviour of the parties during the proceedings remains an important factor. Clear, consistent explanations, documents provided on time, and the absence of conflicting positions significantly increase the chances of a positive outcome.
