How it works in Europe
In most European countries the losing party pays a significant share of the winner's legal costs, so the financial risk of litigation is higher. The European Small Claims Procedure can be used for cross-border claims up to €5,000.
Finding a litigation & disputes lawyer in Liechtenstein
Lawyers in Liechtenstein must be registered with the relevant bar or law society before they can practise. Before you instruct anyone, confirm their registration using the EU e-Justice "Find a lawyer" tool. Many firms in major cities advise international clients in English, but ask at the first contact whether the lawyer who will handle your case is fluent in your language, and request a written fee estimate.
