We advise and represent our clients in court or arbitration proceedings. Our many years of experience enable us to adopt a problem-oriented approach in our clients’ best interests, whilst presenting their case convincingly before the court or the arbitral tribunal. We are distinguished by a structured and well-considered approach, as well as the flexibility to respond to changing circumstances.
We examine the tasks and situations brought to our attention from various angles. Thanks to the diverse specialist disciplines represented within our firm, we can, where necessary, assemble teams comprising experienced litigation lawyers and subject-matter experts. We handle the entire litigation process and also assist you with the subsequent enforcement of your claims obtained through the courts. In particular, we have a wealth of experience in disputes relating to property law, shareholder disputes and the enforcement of claims arising from tax advisory errors. Our litigation lawyers also have in-depth experience in handling post-M&A disputes, intellectual property disputes and employment law disputes.
Conflicts can often be resolved out of court by the parties undergoing a mediation process structured by a neutral body. To facilitate a settlement that takes account of all parties’ interests, we support our clients through a solution-finding process facilitated by our qualified mediators. This enables a prompt and cost-effective settlement to be reached between the parties out of court.
