OUR APPROACH

Three questions that shape the work.

What needs to be proved?

Distinguish the position you want to advance from the facts that must be proved. Review contracts, transaction records and opposing arguments to identify the evidence needed.

What are the implications for the assets and tax?

In inheritance and property disputes, establishing a right is only part of the picture. Consider the assets, their legal status and the relevant tax implications together.

What steps can protect your rights?

Consider negotiation and litigation alongside evidence preservation, asset protection and enforcement. Discuss the priorities at the current stage and the scope of the work.

What happens after you contact us

Consultation

We discuss your situation, objectives and any approaching deadline. The consultation format and fee are explained before booking.

Document review

We examine the available contracts, decisions and transaction records, distinguishing established facts from information still needed.

Strategy and scope

We explain available procedures, key issues and foreseeable difficulties. The engagement terms specify the initial fee, whether a success fee applies and on what basis, and separate expenses.

Preparing and filing documents

We organise the arguments and evidence for the agreed procedure, checking material facts and submissions with the client.

Hearings and responses

We review opposing submissions and procedural developments, explaining any additional evidence or preparation needed for an appearance.

Outcome and next steps

We explain what the decision resolved and what remains. Appeals, registration and enforcement are discussed according to the circumstances and the agreed scope.
