Pre-trial settlement of disputes
For more than 10 years, Ablov & Partners law firm has been helping businesses and individuals settle conflicts before they reach court.
We handle claims and demand letters, negotiate with counterparties, banks, insurers and property developers, and support clients through mediation and the conclusion of settlement agreements.
Pre-trial settlement saves time and money and helps preserve confidentiality and business relationships. And if an agreement cannot be reached, you go to court with a well-tested position and evidence already in place.
