Representation in Litigation

National/International Lawsuits

From an economic point of view, litigation in court often is unsatisfactory, time-consuming and annoying for many companies and in more than just a few cases. But ex-perience shows that litigation cannot always be avoided in various situations - in private life or in business - for instance to enforce trademarks or patents or to recover a debt.

To enter into litigation, you need the following: well presented and detailed facts, a strin-gent argumentation covering all factual and legal aspects and the necessary psychological sensitivity for dealing with the court and theopponent's lawyers. The criteria for the de-cision of a court are different from those in negotiations between businesses.

Successful litigation therefore requires the lawyer you commission to be experienced in processing and presenting the facts of a case, in finding the right focal points for his/her legal argumentation and in reacting correctly in certain process situations. This "skill" demands comprehensive experience.

Our special area in this field is representing clients in litigation resulting from technical projects and for clients or opponents of abroad.
