LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Don’t just be right, win your case.
We represent our clients before all national courts as well as the Court of Justice of the European Union, particularly in competition disputes (warnings or ‘cease and desist’ letters) and in administrative and criminal court proceedings.
We offer you comprehensive legal representation in conflicts, which in our opinion includes strategic consultation. In the event of an imminent dispute, we develop a complete conflict approach for our client. We clarify the facts, use them to estimate the possibility of litigation and assess its potential risks, point out alternatives and draft a detailed cost risk analysis. On that basis, we collaborate with the client to determine solutions in its best interest and then realise those solutions in court.

We always review the strategy that we decide upon with our client in advance of trial with regard to its probability of success and timeliness, keeping in mind that litigation is a dynamic process. Good legal representation seeks the best possible outcome by employing foresight and strong negotiating skills and is attentive to the client’s interests and evolving dispute resolution options at all times.
