Dispute Resolution in Germany

Every company will, at some time, be confronted with a contentious dispute. In this area especially, our clients not only need to be given competent advice, but it is of particular importance that the right approach is taken on their behalf in dealing with the adverse party and with courts, arbitral tribunals, conciliation boards and others involved in the dispute. We know that the commercial interests of the companies we advise demand careful analysis of each conflict situation and its long-term effects before it can be determined whether or not to enter into a legal dispute and how such dispute is to be handled. For this reason, we define the pros and cons of reaching an amicable settlement or seeking a judicial decision in close cooperation with our clients before the start of any litigation. With this approach as our basis, we work out a feasible strategy which includes considerations of procedural tactics, while keeping in mind the costs of litigation and the ratio between such costs and our clients' desired goals.

Complex proceedings relating to specific issues in special legal areas or in which specific knowledge of an industry is necessary are handled by a team of litigators and lawyers concentrated in such areas. In this way, we optimize both the quality of how we analyze the facts and conduct such proceedings.

Our trial practice concentrates upon the following areas:

  • Antitrust Law
  • Banking Law
  • Competition Law
  • Computer Law
  • Construction Law
  • Copyright and Media Law
  • Corporate Law
  • Environmental Law
  • General Civil and Commercial Law
  • Infrastructure Projects
  • Labour Law
  • Law of Sales Contracts and Contracts for Work and Services
  • Marketing/Distribution Law
  • Patent, Design Patent and Utility Model Law
  • Product Liability Law
  • Property Law and Commercial Landlord and Tenant Law
  • Telecommunications Law
  • Trademark Law

The International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC") made a series of amendments to its 1998 Arbitration Rules, which take effect on January 1, 2012. The changes are principally aimed at increasing efficiency in ICC arbitration proceedings and codifying existing ICC practice.
