What you can expect:
Counselling, organisation, representation or negotiation – we will be pleased to make your legal challenges our tasks.
Our services place emphasis on civil law and commercial law, and in particular on labour law as well as commercial and corporate law.
No matter if you wish to enforce your claims or defend third party claims, either as a private individual or as an entrepreneur, we will comprehensively support you in court based on many years of experience.
When it comes to extrajudicial counselling, we develop along with our clients models and structures designed to achieve their ideas and visions. We support you in both design counselling and negotiations.
Disputes need not necessarily be resolved in court. We favour alternative conflict resolutions by way of mediation which often reveals totally new paths and solutions designed to save both time and money.
