Expertise

Legal expertise is required when a question goes beyond a simple assessment. This is often the case with conflicts, contracts, personnel matters, director issues, privacy matters, IT projects, or liability. Sometimes you know exactly which area of ​​law is involved in advance. Often, however, this is not the case. A business dispute, for example, may combine contract law, corporate law, and liability law. A privacy question may also touch upon IT law, employment law, and contractual agreements. Therefore, we first examine the problem. Subsequently, we determine which specialist or combination of specialists is required.

Entrepreneurs need legal advice that is practically usable. A legally sound analysis is not enough. The solution must also fit the business, costs, risks, and commercial interests. Therefore, we do not just assess the law. We also consider the evidentiary position, room for negotiation, time pressure, reputation, contractual agreements, and the likelihood of escalation. This ensures you receive not abstract advice, but a legal path you can execute. This could be advice, a contract amendment, negotiations, a formal demand letter, or legal proceedings.

Employment law is relevant to virtually every company. Consider employment contracts, illness, poor performance, dismissal, wages, non-competition clauses, settlement agreements, and labor disputes. A wrong step in an employment law case can prove costly. Think of wage claims, fair compensation, reinstatement of the employment contract, or a failed dismissal process. Our employment law help employers resolve personnel issues carefully and practically. In doing so, we consider both the legal position and the feasibility within your company.

Many business disputes stem from unclear agreements. An agreement may be too general, general terms and conditions may be missing, or parties may fail to properly document important risks. Contract law concerns questions regarding performance, termination, dissolution, liability, damages, penalties, general terms and conditions, and the interpretation of agreements. Our contract law assist in reviewing, amending, and enforcing contractual agreements. Do you primarily need a document? Then please also visit our page on contracts.

Corporate law affects the structure and decision-making of your company. Consider shareholder disputes, directors' liability, partnerships, articles of association, shareholder agreements, mergers and acquisitions, and restructuring. With corporate law matters, often more is at stake than a single legal point. It also concerns control, continuity, financing, reputation, and mutual relationships. Our corporate law assist with advice, strategy, negotiations, and litigation. In doing so, we seek a solution that is legally sound and does not unnecessarily damage the company.

IT law is important for software companies, SaaS providers, platforms, webshops, IT service providers, and enterprises that rely on digital systems. Examples include software contracts, service level agreements, licenses, outsourcing, data usage, cybersecurity, hosting, cloud storage, IT disputes, and liability related to digital services. Our IT law assess contracts, risks, and disputes surrounding digital products and services. In doing so, we also consider privacy, intellectual property, and commercial dependencies.

Privacy law affects almost every business. You process personal data of customers, employees, suppliers, website visitors, or users of digital services. Privacy and data protection involve, among other things, GDPR documentation, privacy statements, data processing agreements, data breaches, DPIAs, retention periods, marketing, cookies, and international data transfers. Our privacy and data protection help entrepreneurs mitigate risks and make documents practically applicable. Privacy must not only be correct on paper but also implementable within your organization.

Is your company being held liable? Or do you wish to recover damages from a counterparty? In such cases, it must be quickly assessed whether a legal basis exists. Liability revolves around breach of contract, unlawful act, damages, causal link, evidence, and defense. In addition, insurance, exoneration clauses, general terms and conditions, and duties to complain often play a significant role. Our specialists in liability, damages, and insurance assess your position and determine the sensible next step. Sometimes a dismissal is sufficient. Sometimes negotiation or litigation is necessary.

Not every legal dispute needs to go to court. Nevertheless, litigation is sometimes necessary. This applies, for example, if the opposing party continues to refuse to cooperate, stalls for time, or threatens further damage. A sound litigation strategy begins with a thorough assessment of the facts, documents, evidentiary position, and procedural risks. Subsequently, one can choose between a formal demand letter, negotiation, summary proceedings, main proceedings, or other measures. Would you like to know if litigation is advisable? Then view our page on litigation by a lawyer or legal expert. The Judiciary also provides a practical overview of situations in which a lawyer is or is not mandatory .

Many legal problems are not resolved by immediate litigation, but by shrewd negotiation. For this to happen, the legal position must be clear. A good negotiation requires evidence, timing, pressure building, and a realistic assessment of the opposing party. It must also be clear which concessions are justifiable. Our legal experts and lawyers can provide advice behind the scenes or act on your behalf. Please also view our page on negotiation by a lawyer or legal expert.

You do not need to know exactly which area of ​​law applies in advance. Many business questions cannot be neatly categorized. Therefore, we start with a brief analysis. What is the problem? Which documents are available? What timeframe is involved? What is the financial and commercial interest? And which risks need to be mitigated immediately? We then match your question with the appropriate expertise. This could be a single specialist, or a combination of employment law, contract law, corporate law, IT law, privacy, or liability law.

Contracts often form the basis of your legal position. If agreements are properly documented, you are in a stronger position during disputes. If contracts are unclear, room for conflict arises. We assist with drafting, reviewing, and amending contracts, general terms and conditions, cooperation agreements, service agreements, shareholders' agreements, management agreements, and IT contracts. Do you already have a document and want to know if it is legally sound? Then our ContractCheck™ be suitable.
