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.
We assess the most efficient method of reaching a solution, out of court where possible and in court where necessary. Your business and priorities are top of mind in our litigation strategy.
