Property:

Property damage events “meet” the firm’s clients in their daily lives in a wide variety of events, and in relation to different types of property.

The occurrence of property damage is not a routine event. Each and every case is unique and, the attending lawyer is obliged to be on top of the details as close as possible to the time of its occurrence. Then he can map those involved, identify accurately the factors responsible for failures and damage, and quantify the damages.

Out firm takes action to reach an in-depth understanding of the event and its components soon after its occurrence, and this forms the basis for the wise and correct management of the conflict and, if necessary, of the legal process afterward. In order to complete the firm’s professional and optimal management of the procedure, we use first-class experts in each field according to the circumstances.

The fact that the lawyer is fully involved in managing the case is sometimes the “winning card”, since a lawyer who is present at the event and is familiar with its details from the beginning has the ability to lead and conduct the procedure safely until the client’s success.

The firm’s staff represents plaintiffs and defendants in property claims, including the largest entities in the economy. These can be the result of damages caused during the execution of contractual works, construction defects, during production works, marketing, and the result of planning operations or professional advice provided as part of the many professional practices.

Damage events present complex challenges to the firm’s clients. They require consideration regarding both the various details of the damage incident and the broad consequences that require the firm’s involvement, and also concerns that go beyond the boundaries of the procedure management, which may affect other projects, additional clients, parallel legal proceedings as well as the reputation of the customer.

Professionalism and attention to detail and not “leaving a stone unturned” for the successful management of the legal process are the motto of our firm’s team in managing property damage cases and in general.
