– Selection of the relevant legislation and case law for the specific situation, taking into account the particular features of the dispute.
– Determining the position on the case and the work plan.
Gathering the necessary information and documents
– A set of measures to gather evidence, including requests to authorised organisations, as well as to state authorities and notaries, commissioning (where necessary) a handwriting, psycholinguistic or other expert examination, and obtaining written evidence and documents that the client does not have.
