Corporate Litigation practice

We assist clients in corporate law disputes and proceedings.

These might involve deadlocks that occurred within the general meeting of shareholders, the managing board or the supervisory board regarding the company's policy to be pursued. For example, the policy regarding distributing or reserving profits, strengthening the capital, directors' remuneration, reorganisations, course changes, or other far-reaching circumstances.

Disputes can also arise against the background of alleged mismanagement and obtaining disclosure in this respect, unauthorised conflicts of interests, unreasonable treatment of (minority) shareholders or the contents of the financial statements.

In addition, disputes in the context of envisaged or completed transactions and agreed joint ventures may be involved. Among other things, this may involve claims on account of breaking off acquisition negotiations, or claims initiated on account of breach of warranties, non-competition clauses or exclusivity stipulations.

Another source of disputes involves the liability of directors or supervisory directors on account of mismanagement or supervision, liability of shareholders, or other cases of liability.

Clients who entrust their interests to us in these situations expect a well-planned strategy designed to produce maximum results followed by pro-active action. We offer the greatest possible clarity regarding the chances in litigation to prevent litigation from becoming a black box or a goal in itself.
