“Bij de opstart van onze onderneming dienden we een merkenrechtelijk topic af te toetsen. Artes heeft ons hierin op een correcte wijze geadviseerd. Vooral de transparante, stipte en accurate aanpak hebben wij onthouden uit de samenwerking. Voor een ondernemer is het belangrijk dat een advocaat of consultant constructief is en meedenkt in het belang van de onderneming.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable 'legal partner' who thinks outside the box.”

“U kan bij Artes terecht voor een moderne aanpak van uw dossier. De focus ligt daarbij volledig op de onderneming en de belangen van de onderneming. Indien een geschil buiten de rechtbank kan geregeld worden doet men dat. Alvorens het geschil effectief bij de rechtbank wordt gebracht, worden alle risico’s - samen met de slaagkansen van het dossier - duidelijk besproken. Er zijn geen verrassingen. Ook het advieswerk wordt stipt, accuraat en correct opgeleverd.”

“Don’t hesitate to contact Artes if you prefer a modern approach of your case. The focus is entirely on your company and its interests. If a dispute can be settled out of court, it will be done so. Before a dispute is actually brought before a court, all risks - together with the chances of success of the case - are clearly discussed. There are no surprises. The consultancy work is also delivered very punctually, accurately and correctly”

“When starting up our company, we had to assess a trademark issue. Artes advised us in this respect in a correct manner. We especially remember the transparent, punctual and accurate approach from the cooperation. For an entrepreneur it is important that a lawyer or a consultant is constructive and thinks along in the interest of the company.”

“Wij zijn erg tevreden met de professionele begeleiding door Artes advocaten. Als jong en dynamisch bedrijf is het aangenaam werken met een innovatief advocatenkantoor dat de noden en bekommernissen van snel groeiende bedrijven begrijpt en daar perfect op inspeelt. Een aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een betrouwbare ‘juridische partner’ die ruimer meedenkt dan het strikt juridische.”

Milan Rutten Directeur Arenberg - www.arenbergschouwburg.be

"Artes assisted a renowned cultural house in Antwerp with legal questions arising from the corona crisis. Cultural houses and artists are today confronted with forced closures, annulations and an unclear outlook for the coming months or even seasons. Artes assisted both on short-term consequences of COVID-19, but also advise on future decisions, potential for recuperation and long term assessment of contracts and general conditions.”
