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.

Why LEGAL+

Because LEGAL+ takes over.

LEGAL+ stands for more legal responsibility, personal involvement and efficiency. Your mandate is handled by an experienced litigator who personally conducts the case and thinks litigation and the underlying contracts together. This means for you in practical terms:
• fewer opinions
• more decisions
• more and faster results
LEGAL+ takes control of your case while you can concentrate on your business. This type of assumption of responsibility is what “Beyond Advice” stands for.

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.
