Specializations
●
IT law and intellectual property
●
Public procurement and investments
In the legal field, we work with vocabulary.
Therefore, every lawyer must be able to use
the language, understand the meaning of words
and grammatical interpretation. Even a legal
memorandum should be written in a way
everyone understands.
