Jalsovszky has launched a dedicated “second opinion” service, offering clients, including individuals, companies, and even fellow lawyers, an independent external perspective in legal disputes.
According to the firm, this service is available at any stage of a legal matter: before litigation, during proceedings, or even post-judgment, to assess outcomes and strategy. "While many people do seek second opinions, few feel comfortable speaking about it openly. That is why Jalsovszky has developed its own code of conduct for providing second opinions, one that even goes beyond the legal requirements to ensure the primacy of the clients' interests. This applies regardless of whether they are the ones providing the second opinion or whether it is sought in a case that they handle."
“We believe that asking for a second opinion is still often seen as unnecessary criticism or a sign of wavering trust in one’s lawyer, and therefore considered taboo," said Partner and Head of Dispute Resolution Tamas Feher. "In our view, the opposite is true: it is a conscious, responsible decision that strengthens collaboration between the client and their lawyer."
