Answers to your questions about the Netherlands

We handle the phase before it becomes a case: reviewing your position, corresponding with the other party, negotiating a settlement and sending a formal demand, which is where most commercial disputes actually end. If the matter has to go to court, Dutch procedure requires a registered advocate for most proceedings, so we bring in a litigator from our network, brief them with the file we already have and stay involved as the company's point of contact. That way you are not explaining your business from scratch to someone new.
