Control—through experience, strategy and resolve

For over 20 years – many of them in international law firms – I have represented clients in commercial and civil law disputes before German civil courts – and in proceedings with an international dimension. In doing so, I combine legal precision with experience in litigation tactics and a clear commercial perspective.

Those who go to court need more than legal knowledge. What matters is control—built on experience, strategy and the assertiveness as litigation lawyer. That means mastering the proceedings—from filing the statement of claim or the statement of defence, through the taking of evidence, to judgment; if necessary up to the Federal Court of Justice (BGH) in cooperation with colleagues admitted there.This means being in control of the proceedings – from the filing of the lawsuit or statement of defense to the taking of evidence to the verdict, if necessary all the way to the Federal Court of Justice in cooperation with colleagues admitted to practice there.

This control often begins long before the first written pleading – with contract draftingthat can deliver the decisive advantage when the stakes are high. That is where I come in: as a litigator who not only conducts the dispute but thinks like one from the outset.

Deliver predictable value:

My approach: deliver predictable value
I take on cases only where a clear client advantage is to be expected. The basis is a sober assessment of:

• Facts and Law
• Provability
• Timeline and costs
• Enforceability (also cross-border)

At defined decision points (e.g., after the statement of defence, an evidence order, or the hearing) I recalibrate the course. If a settlement offers the better parameters, I recommend it. Otherwise, I pursue the case consistently—if required, through the final instance.
