The key to reality belongs to those who interpret it.
Leads the firm's litigation practice and business strategy. Represents clients in commercial disputes and criminal matters — from the initial assessment of whether a case is worth fighting to the verdict or settlement. Nine years of experience as a radio moderator and editor show in the courtroom: he argues precisely, clearly, and persuasively.
He builds his cases as firmly on the statute book as on the psychology of decision-making. At home he keeps hundreds of volumes on law, psychology, and management — from Kahneman and Tversky through Argyris, Schön, and Schein to the classics of the Harvard Negotiation School — and draws on them in the strategic preparation of every significant dispute. His default is courtesy and respect; when he sees injustice, he doesn't pull punches.
Beyond legal practice, he studies power dynamics — both through law and through social simulations he designs as part of the GAGOO platform. He perceives reality isomorphically: the same principles that govern litigation also apply to business negotiations and team dynamics. In his remaining free time, he writes books.
Chess, Poker, Monopoly — and Snakes and Ladders: Four Games You Play in Court Without Knowing It
Law looks like a system of rules. It runs more like four different games at once — one with full information, one with hidden information, one fought over resources, and one decided by a roll of the dice.

The Lawyer as Illusionist: Magic, Therapy, or PR — What the Client Actually Needs
Clients come to a lawyer with problems the law cannot answer.

The Psychology of the Parties: How a Judge Decides, What Each Side Wants, Doesn't Know It Wants, and Says It Wants
The court is not a justice machine, the client doesn't really know their own interests, and the other side is lying most to themselves. A dense popular-science look at what current research says about the psychology of everyone in a legal dispute — from Danziger through Burton and Argyris to Stone, Patton & Heen.
You Don't Negotiate with Terrorists: The Irrational Adversary Is Vermin
Classical game theory assumes a rational actor. But what if the person on the other side wants not to win, but to destroy you — even at the cost of their own ruin? A dense popular-science look at what game theory, evolutionary biology and clinical psychology say about the irrational adversary — and which strategies remain when Harvard isn't enough.
Statutes Are Just the Foundation: Psychology and Tactics in a Legal Dispute
Why the best lawyers don't read only the statute book — a popular-science look at what behavioural economics and the Harvard Negotiation School tell us about negotiation, cognitive biases, and the psychology of disputes.

Attorney's Fees in Court: Who Reimburses Them and How Much?
One of the most common questions: will I get back everything I paid my lawyer? Five real-world examples showing what you'll actually pay and what the court will award.
When a client walks in with an unpaid invoice for twenty thousand crowns, we have two options. Tell them our hourly rate is higher than their entire claim, and send them home. Or help them.
