Cross-border contracts, business activity and coordination between professionals.
Documents in their original languages, agreements, countries involved, timeline and objective.
Which countries and languages are involved, and where did the main events occur?
The professional first reviews the request, then identifies the documents, further checks and approach needed for that case.
A.D.O.S. / 05 · 06 · 08
We follow the A.D.O.S. INTERNATIONAL principles. We separate facts from opinions, hear every side, explain the evidence and say what remains uncertain.
We reconstruct the facts. Which points are agreed, disputed or still uncertain?
We compare statements with documents, check whether the records are complete and where they came from, and hear both sides.
With each side’s lawyers, we clarify disagreements and consider proposals that explain their reasons.
Which facts do both sides acknowledge?
Where do the accounts of events or documents differ?
Which originals, answers or checks are still missing?
Discussion is voluntary and starts with the evidence. The project does not follow the model of mandatory mediation. Decisions and legal steps remain with the parties and qualified professionals, with respect for their rights.
