Others advise – LEGAL+ takes over.
Litigation requires taking responsibility.
Anyone who stands before a court cannot advise from the sidelines. LEGAL+ takes over – responsibility, leadership, decision-making. Every case is handled as a case of its own, with the same care with which one would defend one’s own interests. Taking over means not shifting risk back to the client but carrying it: with a clear position, thorough preparation and the willingness to assume responsibility in conflict – until judgment or until a solution that endures.
Where LEGAL+ takes over
LEGAL+ operates where commercial relationships need to be structured, enforced or defended — with a particular focus on two areas:
Mechanical and plant engineering.
Manufacturers, suppliers and subcontractors in the mechanical and plant engineering sector regularly face a particular risk position: they perform in advance, they carry the financing burden, and if a project derails, the pressure usually turns against them. LEGAL+ acts exclusively for the supply side — with contracts that hold up in the project and with enforcement when the conflict escalates.

International disputes.
When a foreign business partner fails to pay, a claim is filed from abroad, or a German judgment must be enforced across borders, more is required than general contract law. LEGAL+ combines litigation experience with international procedural law — from jurisdiction and service to cross-border enforcement. In mechanical and plant engineering in particular, one of Germany’s strongest export sectors, cross-border disputes are part of day-to-day business. This is precisely why the two focus areas of LEGAL+ come together here so naturally.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
We first met Attorney Daniel Meier-Greve in 2014 and can state that we found a highly competent expert in the field of business law. It is rare nowadays to encounter such a dedicated lawyer—one who not only listens to a company’s concerns but also shows remarkable initiative in familiarizing himself with and thinking along the lines of the company’s philosophy.
On the basis of a recommendation, we retained Attorney Meier-Greve in a highly complex litigation matter. He familiarized himself with the case in an impressively short time. He identified litigation risks without glossing over them and then developed and successfully implemented a targeted strategy together with us. Particularly noteworthy is his consistently transparent approach and his dedication. He truly takes every case personally and is available to his clients around the clock!
Many thanks for your long-standing, dedicated support, which ultimately led to a very successful outcome.
It was a real uphill battle.
In search of a litigation lawyer, we were introduced to Attorney Daniel Meier-Greve through a recommendation and entrusted him with a complex dispute. From the very first contact, Mr. Meier-Greve gave us the reassuring sense that we were in good hands. After the initial alignment, I was able to fully refocus on my daily business while Mr. Meier-Greve took care of everything else and kept me transparently informed. I particularly value his pragmatic approach and his strength as a skilled negotiator. Today I can look back on a successfully resolved matter and know without hesitation whom I will entrust again with JPL’s legal affairs when needed.
"Dear Mr. Meier-Greve,
I relied on my gut instinct after our initial meeting when awarding the mandate and, as I now know, I was absolutely right.
I would now like to thank you.
First of all, thank you for your patience and openness in responding to my questions and objections, and also for your constant dedication to presenting the best possible outcome in court.
With your professional expertise, you explained all the legal issues and procedures to me in a clear and understandable way, which gave me a great sense of confidence.
I always had the feeling that you took your mandate very seriously and were fully committed to the case.
My impression was that you were always attentive to my needs and that you consistently went above and beyond throughout the entire process.
I would also like to add another word of praise: at all times I felt that you genuinely cared about me as a client and that you were truly pleased to be able to help me and win the case for me.
You didn’t ‘just do your job’ — it was evident that you had the motivation to do everything possible to support me as your client. I found this especially positive and consider it exceptional.
I was very pleased to handle this case together with you. Looking ahead, I hope I will not need your services in another civil lawsuit. But I am very glad to have met you as a remarkable person.
Best regards to Hamburg

Guide to GmbH law: The duties and liability risks of the managing director of a GmbH
In the external relationship, only the GmbH is liable, which can indemnify its managing directors. However, this does not mean that external liability of the managing directors is excluded.
In addition to personal liability in the area of tax and social security law, the managing director may also be liable on the basis of his own contractual obligations, on the basis of an induced legal appearance, on the basis of (personal) culpability when concluding the contract and in tort.
For the aforementioned reasons, every managing director of a GmbH is urgently recommended to be familiar with the requirements for proper managing director activities.

Estimation of fictitious defect rectification costs
For some time now, a landmark decision by the Federal Court of Justice has clarified that the contractual claim for damages in lieu of performance pursuant to Sections 437 No. 3, 280, 281 BGB can be assessed on the basis of the “fictitious” defect rectification costs that are likely to be necessary but have not yet been incurred, see BGH ruling of 12.03.2021, Ref. V ZR 33/19. In practice, it is of particular relevance how the court called upon to decide in an individual case is to determine the amount of such fictitious damage costs.

EUGH ruling “LKW Walter”
The possibility of being able to enforce one’s own rights as easily and quickly as possible in cross-border EU business transactions, which is very welcome in principle, has some pitfalls. The author’s experience shows that traders are often overwhelmed when they receive legally relevant mail from abroad. This is not least due to the fact that court documents received from abroad often do not meet the requirements of European law.
