Cross-border disputes
Achieving sustainable economic success demands the strategic execution of cross-border projects and effective engagement in global financial markets. Our expertise lies in providing assistance in complex international commercial disputes. Through our wide-ranging advice, we help to ensure your international success in the long term.
In the sphere of international commerce and transactions, many companies are increasingly encountering cross-border disputes that pose far-reaching risks and consequences for their business operations. Compared to German civil proceedings, however, there are considerable differences in other legal systems, for example, it may be mandatory to search for and disclose documents relevant to the dispute to the other party even before a court hearing (discovery). In some cases, pre-action letters with high requirements are necessary. International proceedings often entail higher cost risks, demanding detailed planning and strategic crisis communication.
Our experienced team, which includes lawyers with common law backgrounds, has successfully managed numerous cross-border disputes, particularly those involving the UK and the US. We take the lead in coordinating every procedural step, assisting with (written) witness statements, the engagement of expert witnesses and strategic media communications. We leverage our close collaboration with an extensive international network of law firms and, through our offices in London and New York, offer on-site support during court hearings. After securing an enforceable instrument for you, we remain by your side, providing extensive assistance in enforcing and recovering assets worldwide.
