Yes. Before taking on a new matter, a conflict-of-interest check is carried out against existing clients, opposing parties, and the subject matter.

The check process

For new work, the parties, affiliated companies, opposing counsel, and the subject matter are checked. For this reason, sharing party information at first contact speeds up the process.

The check is carried out in confidence. If there is a possibility of conflict, the situation is clarified before work begins and we act in accordance with professional rules.
