Assessing liability
Specialized legal assistance for entrepreneurs, directors, and organizations
Insurers' policy conditions are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, conflicts regarding coverage issues arise more frequently. It is therefore important to seek legal advice immediately to clarify whether specific damages can be recovered. Within our Insurance and Reinsurance practice group, we offer legal assistance in disputes with insurers, among other services. We can also provide organizations with legal advice when taking out insurance.

What we do
Based on the facts and circumstances, it must be investigated which party is liable in a given situation. The basic principle here is that everyone bears their own damage. However, in some exceptional cases, the party causing the damage is not the party that can be held liable for the damage. It is therefore important to investigate and assess who is liable for specific damage. Within our practice group, our legal experts and lawyers have the experience and expertise to assess liability in specific situations.

Corporate Law · Lawyer
In specialized legal cases, it is not just about the legal rule. It is also about evidence, timing, negotiating position, and the business implications of every step.
What we help with
We assist entrepreneurs and organizations with legal questions where careful assessment, strategy, and execution are important.
- Assessment of your legal position
- Analysis of contracts, decisions, correspondence, and supporting documents
- Advice on liability, defense, and strategy
- Drafting or reviewing legal correspondence
- Negotiation with counterparty, trustee, shareholder or advisor
- Guidance during escalation, proceedings, or settlement
When should you call in a specialist?
Legal assistance is particularly valuable when the stakes are high, deadlines are running, or when an incorrect response could weaken your position.
- There is a claim, demand, or notice of liability
- You are unsure whether to respond, negotiate, or litigate
- There are major financial or reputational risks
- The other party exerts pressure or uses short deadlines
- You want to prevent a response from being used against you later
- You want to know in advance what is legally and commercially sound
Assess first, then respond
In specialized cases, an initial response can be decisive for the subsequent course of action. An admission, incomplete explanation, or the wrong tone could be used against you later. Therefore, we first assess exactly what is being alleged, which facts have been established, which documents are missing, and which strategy aligns with your best interests.
