Our Approach

At first, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the facts, addressing and clarifying any misunderstandings. We then explain the legal situation to the client and identify options and alternatives, negotiating and formulating solutions to protect the client’s interests. This often involves preparing for and supporting negotiations. It is recommended to distinguish between essential (“must-haves”) and desirable (“nice-to-haves”) client interests and assess their enforceability, anticipate counterarguments, and develop suitable fallback positions.

Dispute Avoidance and Risk Mitigation

In addition to risk prevention, our advisory services often focus on acting to avoid disputes and mitigate risks when problems arise. Here too, the first step is to thoroughly investigate the facts, question them, clarify misunderstandings, and proactively assess the legal situation. This is followed by developing reliable strategies for dispute avoidance and problem resolution. The main focus of these strategies is on implementing solutions that are enforceable, sustainable, and fair.
