Litigation and Arbitration
The team brings together practitioners with extensive trial experience that combine academic adeptness, the ability to offer strategic guidance, as well as strong transactional background in a variety of fields.
The firm handles litigation in the domains of administrative, regulatory, civil and commercial law fields, across diverse situations and industries. The practice is comfortable dealing with all types of contentious matters, before all levels of courts, from ordinary disputes to highly controversial high-stakes cases in the public eye.
Domestic, international and specialty arbitration is integrated into the practice, coupled with team member experience acting for arbitrands and in the capacity of arbitrator.
Clients can benefit from the firm’s holistic philosophy, which prioritizes resolution on key issues whilst thoroughly addressing mountains of detail.
Negotiations and ADR
Prevention, containment and constructive resolution of disputes is aligned with the work philosophy of the firm and the fundamental need to preserve value. Recognizing that litigation is just one part of a larger strategy, the lawyers of Alexiou – Kosmopoulos can respond when opportunities arise to achieve resolution on terms appropriate for the client, without recourse to the courts.
A significant portion of the department’s time is devoted to supporting and negotiating out-of-court settlements, resolution of disputes on a confidential basis or through alternative platforms envisaged by law.
The trial -readiness of our litigators allows the team to remain vigorous advocates of client interests within the confines of courteous negotiations. The practice draws upon the firm’s in-depth knowledge of different industries in order to provide an approach tailored to the special characteristics of each individual case. Our team’s strategy is tailored to the size of the matter, the client’s exposure and the criticality of timing and particular outcomes for the client’s objectives.
Assessments, Audits and Investigations
Clients trust us to review facts, documents, transactions and evidence, to help appraise the current situation, reconstruct the facts, or assess the likelihood of future outcomes. Alexiou – Kosmopoulos has had experience dealing with litigation assessment, internal investigations, preparedness drills, license and IP due diligence and similar tasks.
Our Assessments, Audits and Investigations work seeks to respond to specific questions: can wrongdoing be traced? Is the client’s house in order ahead of an investigation or third-party due diligence? Does the adversary really have a case? Will the transaction remain bankable if a dispute is taken to court? Will it be if it is settled?
When seeking to respond to similar questions, our team leverages informed professional judgment over a set of facts and involves specialized due diligence to help decision-makers grasp the essence of what can be done or undone, and what is involved in terms of effort and cost.
