Emmanuel Plasschaert in Legal 500 EMEA: He is “highly appreciated” for dispute resolution (2019) and “a strong litigator” (2018). Our approach to dispute resolution is proactive, creative and pragmatic: it makes little sense to develop litigation strategies for issues that may be decided in favour of an adversary. The fact that we are litigators allows us above all to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a client`s position. That`s why we often help our clients avoid conflict altogether or prevent it from escalating. We deal with issues that affect a variety of industries and include various types of business activities, including: breach of contract, construction, employment, fraud, insurance coverage, intellectual property, partnership disputes, product liability, discrimination, restrictive covenants, securities and securities regulation, property and trade secrets.
