Litigation
How to settle a legal dispute amicably?
Legal disputes can often be avoided when conflicts are resolved efficiently, confidentially, and cooperatively. Our lawyers specializing in litigation and alternative dispute resolution will guide you through proven alternative procedures, from mediation to arbitration. Our expertise in dispute resolution is further demonstrated by the fact that one of our lawyers regularly serves as an arbitrator.
Summary
What alternatives to court proceedings are there?
Our lawyers will work with you to determine the best alternative dispute resolution (ADR) method for your case :
- Direct negotiation between the parties, with or without legal counsel
- Mediation with a neutral third party to reach a settlement
- Judicial or extrajudicial arbitration
- Proceedings under French law with legal representation (« procédure participative »)
When does arbitration make sense?
Arbitration is particularly well-suited to complex, technical, or international disputes. It enables the parties to appoint their own arbitrators, select the applicable rules, and obtain an enforceable decision more quickly than if they were to go to a state court. One of our lawyers regularly acts as an arbitrator and has recognized expertise in both institutional and ad hoc arbitration proceedings.
How can a mutually agreed solution be made legally binding?
To avoid difficulties in interpretation and subsequent challenges, settlement agreements must be clearly and legally effectively worded. Our lawyers negotiate and draft legally sound agreements that resolve existing disputes and prevent litigation. Thanks to their cross-linguistic and cross-jurisdictional expertise, our lawyers specializing in litigation and amicable dispute resolution provide reliable support in German, French, and English.
