“In my view, the role of a good litigator is not only to vigorously defend the client’s interests in an ongoing litigation, but also – at first – to carefully analyse the client’s legal starting position and to discuss with him frankly and fairly the chances, risks and possible costs connected with a potential initiation of proceedings.”
