Dispute resolution

Many organisations are confronted with intellectual property, information technology and data protection disputes. We believe litigation is one of the many solutions to resolve such disputes. We represent clients both before Belgian and European Union courts, as well as before administrative bodies. Artes helps its clients choose direction and assist them in responding adequately, thereby reducing the negative impact on their business and reputation.
