Crisis Management

Sometimes business circumstances require the combined use of different and complex legal procedures. This need is particularly important when a company or group of companies, due to various objective and personal factors can no longer cope with the problems. Business problems are best solved without participation of lawyers, by making strategic decisions, but it is not always possible, and sometimes even delayed. These relevant legal procedures of crisis management are strategic segments of our service. We can outline some of the most common form of crisis management, which helps you get a better understanding of the service: * a) problematic assets management -  Often company or groups of companies which are focused on the sale of goods or services are not able to receive equivalent consideration of the sold assets in proper time, which sooner or later leads to the interruption of normal operational process. In such cases, all resources of a company are used for the “recovery” of debts, instead of the main activities of business, which still does not bring desired results. In order to solve the problems mentioned above, we provide the overall evaluation of problems and risks. We consider the value of the problematic assets; inconvenience related to the limitations and documentary evidence of the proofs and afterwards determine the asset management strategy. To save time and money we actively use alternative means of dispute resolution, negotiations, mediation and arbitration. Eventually, our clients get the method of dealing with crisis which is working effectively and efficiently even after the end of our contractual relationship. Our strategy has been tasted many times while managing the assets of commercial banks and telecommunication companies and has proved its viability. So we can once again try to find a successful cooperation with our prospective clients. * b) Insolvency proceeding - Whenever the company is unable to perform contractual obligations, ownership/management of the company is not a favorable perspective.

If you are a creditor, we will take care of your interests during insolvency proceeding.

Arbitration

Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted by agreement of the parties, to the one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court. Arbitration allows for control of the process, which is impossible during a time-consuming and expensive court hearing; There are numerous reasons why you should apply to arbitration: * Confidentiality - The process is not public, the media can not inform the public about the arbitral proceeding or final award. * Flexibility - Arbitration grants the parties more freedom to agree upon a suitable procedure, and allows a greater influence over procedure than it is possible in court proceedings. The parties themselves set the schedule of procedural actions in agreement with the arbitrator. The parties themselves determine which part of the case needs to be considered and heard by an arbitrator and which issues can be resolved without formal procedures. As a rule, the parties's litigation is planned through their own lawyer. * Selecting an Arbitrator - Unlike a litigation where it is impossible to select a judge, arbitration allows you to choose arbitrators with the technical or other expertise relevant to the dispute. * Duration - Arbitration is much faster than litigation because the parties have the opportunity to draw up a case schedule. * Cost - Arbitration allows the parties to control their litigation costs and require the arbitral tribunal to consider only a specific part of the case. The parties have the opportunity to extract from the case the details that are most important and require concentration on them thereby significantly reducing litigation costs. J&T Consulting Law Firm offers representation in arbitration both at national and international level. Representation covers a wide range of disputes, including in the fields of entrepreneurship, banking, construction, energy, insurance, international trade and investment, intellectual property, mass media and communications law.

Mediation

WHY MEDIATION?   Because it works!                     It is an effective means of dispute resolution for any dispute not requiring a judicial or third party determination. Mediation is a problem-solving process in which a neutral,skilled third person – the mediator – helps the parties to a dispute reach a voluntary agreement. Even If you're already involved in a lawsuit, mediation offers a huge benefit: It gives you a way to resolve the dispute and leave the court system behind. * Mediation acknowledges and values all human needs. * Mediation allows the parties to decide the outcome.
