Takeover disputes
Our lawyers have considerable experience handling disputes over broken negotiations, post-closing disputes such as guarantee and indemnity claims, disputes relating to unlawful competition and arguments over earn outs.

Commercial litigation
In our Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg offices, AKD brings together specialists having ample expertise in a wide range of areas, including contracts of sale and purchase, general conditions, collaboration agreements, franchise agreements, manufacturing agreements, product liability and numerous other non-standard commercial contracts. Many of our specialists focus on particular markets, such as healthcare, defence, the media, international trade, industry or the public sector. This guarantees that you will get the expert to match your case.
