Litigation / Arbitration Proceedings
Litigation and dispute resolution are among the core competences of M&P. Our attorneys have many years of litigation experience before all instances of state civil jurisdiction. If necessary, we secure your rights by interim injunctions. In corporate law disputes we advise you on the steps necessary to protect your rights and initiate the necessary measures. We represent you in shareholders’ meetings and defend you – if necessary – by means of interim legal protection – against hostile shareholder resolutions.
Liability of executive bodies or managers
Claims for damages against managing directors and board members are becoming more frequent and increasingly important. We assess the opportunities and risks arising from the complex legal practice for our clients and represent their interests with the utmost consistency.
Project consulting
As to plant construction, we support our clients in tenders and contract negotiations up to the conclusion of project contracts. While the project is running, we provide advice in the event of discrepancies and assert our clients` claims in court or in arbitration proceedings. Our expertise extends to cross-border development as well as supply and maintenance contracts, including turnkey contracts.
Real Estate Law
When purchasing real estate or concluding rental agreements, we accompany our clients during the contractual discussions and draft or review the contracts. If disturbances and disputes arise later, we represent their interests in and out of court.
Industry 4.0
With ever closer networking and the economic exploitation of large amounts of data (Big Data), technically highly complex relationships are fought out in courts that are often unfamiliar with them.
