Litigation
Litigating with a winning strategy from summary proceedings to appeal.
Sometimes legal proceedings are unavoidable. Then you want a litigation lawyer who knows how to win. With 16+ years of courtroom experience, we assist you and your business in all types of civil proceedings from urgent summary proceedings to complex full proceedings and appeals.
Procedural law determines how legal disputes are handled in court. It intersects with all other areas of law: contract law, liability law, corporate law and real estate law. A good litigation lawyer thinks not only legally but also strategically and commercially.
What is Procedural Law?
Procedural law is the set of rules that determines how a legal procedure proceeds. It is not about the content of the dispute itself, but about the way that dispute is presented to and handled by the court: which deadlines apply, who bears the burden of proof, how evidence is presented and which legal remedies are available.
For entrepreneurs, procedural law is indispensable in conflicts over contracts, liability, real estate, shareholder disputes and debt collection. The wrong procedural choice can lead to unnecessary delay, additional costs or even loss of rights.
You don't win a case with legal knowledge alone, but also with strategy, preparation and presentation. We thoroughly analyse your case, carefully prepare every step and present your position clearly and convincingly to the judge.

What Clients Say
Read experiences from entrepreneurs we've assisted
A lawyer who stands beside you
"Vincent is a lawyer who doesn't sit across from you but stands beside you! His enormous knowledge is a tremendous support to lean on. For 10 years now, he has handled the legal settlement of matters that need to be done. Helping with entrepreneurial issues, personnel, suppliers - he looks at things just a bit differently than I do myself. It's wonderful to brainstorm together and be held up to the mirror. Not to criticize, but to ultimately arrive at the right goal together. Also, honest advice to just NOT do something is valuable. As an entrepreneur, you want to focus on your profession and not on this kind of dossier, for which you often lack sufficient knowledge, and it unnecessarily consumes negative energy. Throwing it over the fence to Vincent immediately brings peace of mind, and that's worth a lot!"
Peter Homan / Homan B.V.
Legally outstanding and genuinely dedicated
"For five years, this lawyer assisted me in a complex and emotionally charged case involving an unreliable business partner. Where my emotions and facts sometimes got mixed up, he always remained calm, sharp and businesslike, without losing sight of the human aspect. The combination of strategic clarity and genuine dedication is rare. He was also exceptionally accessible; even during his vacation I could call him in a true emergency if something threatened to escalate. That provided enormous peace of mind. Yes, I spent a fortune on legal costs. But without doubt I came out cheaper at the bottom line thanks to his well-considered guidance, sharp choices and the fact that he protected me against someone who did not take commitments and trust seriously. If you are looking for a lawyer who is not only legally outstanding but also stands firm and has a winner's mentality, I can wholeheartedly recommend Vincent."
Helene Jaski
A persevering advocate who fights for you
"From the first moment we spoke with him about my father's case, I noticed that we were working with someone who truly digs into a case. He is not only knowledgeable and sharp, but especially a true perseverer who doesn't shy away from anything. Where others might give up, he pushes through - always with the same goal in mind: justice. His involvement, clear communication, and perseverance have given us tremendous confidence. It's great to notice that your lawyer not only has expertise but also has heart for his clients. Highly recommended for anyone looking for someone who truly fights for you."
