As I look back on 2025, a deeper realisation emerges: the legal profession is not what the films of the 1980s sold us. There is no glamour, no salvational drama, no scenes wrapping up in 60 minutes.
Reality is quieter. More demanding. And above all, far more real.
In 2025, we as a law firm achieved a great deal:
- four victories before the Constitutional Court in the field of real estate,
• several wins in multimillion-euro compensation disputes,
• victories before the National Review Commission for Public Procurement - and successes that cannot be measured solely by court decisions.
But behind every success stand countless sleepless nights.
There are doubts you overcome alone, late at night.
There are moments when you must be stronger than your clients’ fears.
There are decisions you make with full responsibility — because trust must never slip from your hands.
It is work that follows you 24/7 — even when the world seems asleep.
The legal profession is not a contest of strength. Victories are won by the mind.
A mind that sees wider.
A mind that stays calm when everyone else doubts.
A mind that protects, guides, and never gives up.
I am proud of our team — not only for the results, but also because with unseen dedication they carry the weight of other people’s stories and turn them into solutions.
And I am grateful to our clients for their trust, for sharing their hardest moments with us.
The year 2025 proved that the greatest battles are not won loudly.
They are won with the mind, with heart and with unwavering persistence.
As we enter 2026, we do so with a clear goal: to continue delivering results that speak for themselves.
