Conflict Resolution for Companies and Executives

Safeguarding Success
and Reputation

We represent companies and executives in litigation, for example in separation processes, compensation disputes, or matters related to post-contractual non-compete clauses. In doing so, we combine strategic expertise with strong negotiation skills to effectively safeguard your interests. Our goal: economically sound and legally compliant solutions for complex conflicts.

We also support you in developing a tailor-made communication strategy. This not only serves to strengthen your position in the proceedings, but also to resolve conflicts at an early stage and out of court. If necessary, we will also assist you in dealing professionally with the media in order to protect your interests and safeguard your reputation. This is particularly important in cases that are of particular interest to the public.

We advise executives and supervisory bodies both preventively and in acute liability matters to minimize personal risks and ensure legal compliance. This includes advising on the implementation of effective compliance structures to establish legally compliant supply chains and whistleblowing systems, as well as handling incoming reports. We also support you in internal investigations, helping to analyze facts, assess them from legal and strategic perspectives, and effectively address potential risks.
