FIELDS OF LAW
Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Our Litigation and Dispute Resolution team advises and represents national and international clients in civil litigation and complex legal disputes before both state courts and arbitration tribunals. We provide support in disputes between competitors, trading and distribution partners, customers and companies, clients and parties involved in construction projects as well as managers and companies.
Our advice focuses on product liability, contractual and distribution disputes, construction, architectural and property law as well as manager liability/D&O. We also have extensive expertise in connection with insurance law disputes.
Our litigation lawyers work meticulously to analyse the facts of the case and ensure that our clients’ position is clearly expressed. If additional expertise is required, for example in insolvency law, insurance law, corporate law, intellectual property law or IT law, we work closely with our teams from other practice groups.
