Approaching the matter
The assessment considers each party’s obligations, the available evidence and the commercial implications. Depending on the matter, advice may involve negotiating clauses, issuing a formal demand or exploring settlement. A French–Spanish element also calls for an assessment of governing law and dispute resolution arrangements.
