Corporate Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Our specialist corporate lawyers in Hamburg represent shareholders, managing directors, and investors in the field of corporate litigation, particularly in disputes under corporate law. We handle litigation and negotiations before national courts and international arbitration tribunals in cases of shareholder conflicts, manager liability, dismissals, and actions for annulment and defects in resolutions.
 

Thanks to our experience in dispute resolution, we support our clients in out-of-court conflict resolution and develop strategies that enable economically viable results. We place particular emphasis on the rapid analysis of complex disputes and precise preparation for negotiations. In this way, we ensure that our clients can strengthen their position in the long term and maintain business stability. As business mediators, we also provide support in mediating between shareholders, thereby effectively promoting alternative dispute resolution.

Dispute resolution 
Our dispute resolution practice group supports companies in resolving complex national and international conflicts. We advise and represent our clients both out of court—in negotiations and alternative dispute resolution proceedings—and in proceedings before state courts and arbitration tribunals. Our goal is to protect our clients' interests in the long term through efficient, strategic, and legally sound solutions. We combine in-depth legal expertise with economic understanding and develop strategies that are practical and results-oriented. 

Risk assessment, negotiation & mediation 
Effective dispute resolution requires a sound legal and economic analysis. We support our clients in identifying legal and economic risks at an early stage and developing tailor-made strategies to protect their rights and interests in complex disputes. In addition, we assist them in avoiding and resolving disputes through structured negotiation and mediation procedures. With a clear focus on maintaining business relationships and minimizing risks, we help our clients achieve practical and sustainable solutions. 

Arbitration 
We represent our clients in institutional and ad hoc arbitration proceedings in a wide range of industries, particularly in the areas of infrastructure, construction & plant engineering, trade & distribution, financial services, technology & telecommunications, and aviation. Our activities include drafting arbitration agreements and representing clients in proceedings under the rules of the ICC, Swiss Rules, DIS, VIAC, UNCITRAL, and the PCA. In doing so, we ensure effective representation of interests and results that are legally enforceable.
