With many years of experience and distinctive expertise, we advise our clients comprehensively in the avoidance, analysis and resolution of conflicts and represent them in (arbitration) court proceedings and out-of-court dispute resolution proceedings in order to achieve efficient, economically viable solutions tailored to the individual needs of our clients.
Conflict avoidance
By drafting contracts with foresight and legal certainty, we prevent potential conflicts at the contract initiation stage and recommend that our clients include so-called staged conflict resolution clauses in their contracts, which sensibly combine bilateral negotiations, mediation and (arbitration) court proceedings.
Development of conflict resolution strategies
Since an early and well thought-out conflict strategy is crucial for a successful dispute resolution, we support our clients in comprehensively analyzing their conflict and clarifying their needs and advise them on the choice of the appropriate conflict resolution procedure.
Process management
If an out-of-court dispute resolution is not possible or desired, we efficiently enforce our clients’ claims in civil law disputes relating to commercial and property law before state courts or arbitration tribunals.
Our range of services includes in particular:
- Corporate law disputes, such as proceedings for defective resolutions and shareholder disputes
- Post-M&A disputes
- Defense against investor and prospectus liability claims
- Defense against insolvency challenges
- Probate and certificate of inheritance proceedings and other inheritance disputes
- Enforcement of court decisions
- Annulment and enforceability proceedings under the Code of Civil Procedure in arbitration proceedings
Alternative conflict resolution procedures
In appropriate cases, such as corporate law disputes or conflicts in complex projects, we recommend alternative dispute resolution procedures to our clients and support them in conciliation and mediation proceedings, among other things, in order to avoid lengthy and cost-intensive (arbitration) court proceedings and to find commercial and sustainable solutions.
