2013LONG TERM PERSPECTIVEWe develop effective strategies and tactics for a range of related cases as well as within a single litigation. We are inventive in our evidence and effective in the long run - we still have something to say to court in the second year of litigation, when opponents are already exhausted and repetitive. We write sensibly and in detail and literally prepare for every hearing. Many of our clients become repeat clients after experiencing this in practice.

Court practice favoring the insurer
Our successful work has resulted in court practice that includes both typical and unique (one-off) agricultural insurance precedents, including:
- Disputes about the criteria of natural phenomena
- Loss from non-insured events, "phenomena preceding liability"
- Violation of sowing / harvesting schedules
- Lack of notification of the beginning of harvesting
- Sowing of non-regionized crops
- Violation of technical requirements in agriculture
- Defining biological / standing crop yields
Ready for non-standard situations
Once an opponent brought a bush of winter rape to court and placed it on the judge's table. We were able to use this situation to our client's advantage and used the "visual aid" to explain the validity of the insurance company's position, winning the case as a result.
We advise on all types of agricultural insurance
Minimizing forensic examinations
As you know, their outcome is unpredictable in advance, so we try to ensure that our Client does not participate in the "lottery".

Successfully, because we know in detail how the market works.
