About
Provided by Luther Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft mbH
Should a legal dispute be unavoidable to enforce a client's rights and claims or to defend a client against unjustified claims, Luther offers an experienced team. As in order to succeed at court or at an arbitral tribunal it requires experience and know-how. Especially in complex proceedings, this does not only mean convincingly representing a legal opinion that is favourable for the client. Of equal importance is the efficient and strategic management of the proceedings as well as the ability to keep an eye on the essentials to present the key points of the dispute even in complex situations.
Complexity can arise from the large number of parties, of parallel proceedings, of witnesses and experts, the complicated interaction of legal norms from very different fields of law, or large amounts of data. Thanks to many years of experience Luther has comprehensive expertise in this area.
If cross-border cases require foreign law in countries where Luther does not have its own office, renowned colleagues from Luther’s partner law firms are called in. If required, Luther can also put clients in touch with experienced communications consultants. Luther also knows how to deal with large amounts of data: Luther evaluates them efficiently with software solutions or, if necessary, with the help of external data service providers. If a complex dispute is to be settled before an arbitral tribunal, Luther has specialists in both national and international arbitral proceedings.
