When a matter has to be fought, we prepare thoroughly and represent you decisively — from urgent injunctions to appeal.
Disputes are where experience counts. We represent local and international clients before the Court of First Instance of Aruba and, on appeal, the Joint Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the BES Islands, with final cassation before the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in The Hague. Our focus is corporate and commercial litigation with real financial stakes, but we also handle the everyday disputes that businesses and individuals face.
Where a matter is urgent, summary proceedings (kort geding) can deliver a fast, enforceable decision — for example to stop a breach, secure payment or lift a measure. We also handle conservatory attachment (beslag) to secure assets before or during a case, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, and the enforcement of judgments. Throughout, we tell you honestly where you stand and what a realistic outcome looks like.
Companies and individuals with a dispute in or connected to Aruba — shareholders, contract parties, creditors and Dutch and international businesses that need decisive, well-prepared representation.
Through summary proceedings (kort geding) the court can grant fast, enforceable interim relief when the matter is urgent — for instance to stop a breach or secure a claim. We assess whether your situation qualifies and act quickly.
Yes. With the court's leave you can levy conservatory attachment (beslag) on assets to secure a claim before or during proceedings, so there is something to recover against if you succeed.
Cases start at the Court of First Instance of Aruba. Appeals go to the Joint Court of Justice, with final cassation before the Supreme Court of the Netherlands — the same apex court as the European Netherlands.
Often, yes — especially in commercial and cross-border matters. We advise whether arbitration or the ordinary courts better serve your goals, and represent you in either forum.
The sooner we look at it, the more options you have. Tell us what is happening and we will map the way forward.
