VDV AVOCATS provides expert assistance in four specific sectors for companies and their business law requirements: the company, contracts, disputes, asset management/private clients. Each sector relies on specific certified and/or recognized expertise.

Fabienne van der Vleugel structured her firm around five strategic organizational areas that she defined after analyzing the needs of companies and how VDV AVOCATS could provide them simply and effectively:

1.The law: a performance and strategic tool for companies

The law is a tool for improving business competitiveness: VDV AVOCATS advises its clients in all their concerns to facilitate decision-making. If legal procedures are triggered at the right moment, they will materially enhance company performance. If the strategy for management of disputes is defined well in advance by the company, solutions are easier to find.

2. Using the law to protect your rights

The law is not merely an occasional necessity. In placing the management of your legal affairs in the hands of VDV AVOCATS, you are deciding to give priority to the management of your rights, to enable them to be appropriately protected by legal practitioners whose profession is the law.

3. A modern professional environment for professionals
