Court Proceedings

We are familiar with more than just substantive law. We are also well versed in asserting or defending your rights. In close consultation with you, we develop the appropriate tactics for each situation in order to represent and assert your interests, either before German state courts or private arbitration tribunals.

We can help with
  • Knowledge and experience

    Our experience in IP, IT or data protection law can also help you in court. Our specialists know both substantive law and the business. We also have a broad network of colleagues at home and abroad who we can consult on international issues.

  • IP Litigation

    Infringements of industrial property rights often culminate in legal proceedings. Our experienced lawyers will defend you in court against challenges arising from trademarks, copyrights or designs or will enforce your claims arising from such rights against third parties before German courts

  • Process Economy

    Based on our experience, we are able to assess the risk of litigation and make a legally but also economically sound recommendation on how to proceed; should the proceedings be conducted, avoided or should a settlement be sought?

  • Network

    We have an international network of outstanding procedural lawyers whom we can consult on cross-border issues and whom we can call in or recommend as representatives when enforcing rights abroad.

  • Competition Law

    If a competitor violates the rules of fair competition or if competitors obstruct one another deliberately and by unfair means, this can result in claims for injunctive relief and damages, which we can enforce, defend and secure both in and out of court.

  • Employment law

    We represent our clients before employment tribunals, regional employment courts and the Federal Employment Court in all kinds of legal proceedings, in particular in actions against unfair dismissal, actions for termination of employment and compensation as well as anti-discrimination claims.

  • Administrative Tribunal proceedings

    We also represent our clients’ interests in disputes concerning emission permits, special use permits or event-specific building permits for their events, or defend against legal actions brought by neighbours.

AI and the GDPR

4. December 2023
by Leonore Hilchenbach & Vitorio Dimov

From software development to e-commerce, marketing and consulting services: The use of (generative) artificial intelligence (henceforth "AI") is penetrating every conceivable industry. This raises many different questions from a legal perspective. One of the most relevant is that of data protection. The European data protection authorities impose severe fines in the millions for violations of the GDPR. The need for companies to make their offerings legally compliant is therefore just as high.

Metaverse and Law: Data Protection

10. November 2023
by Dr. Martin Schirmbacher & Elisabeth Marx

The emergence of the metaverse raises new questions about data protection. The GDPR is relevant if the metaverse operator is active in the EU or addresses EU citizens. The responsibility lies with the operator, but companies, agencies and hardware providers may also be responsible. Data protection agreements and transparent information for users about data collection are important, as is safeguarding the rights of data subjects.
