Challenges

Common pitfalls in conflicts

  1. Risk & opportunity assessment
    Realistically assess the amount in dispute, the evidence and the legal costs, comparing them with the company's objectives.
  2. Evidence & forensics
    Secure, evaluate and prepare facts, documents and technical evidence quickly and in a manner that will stand up in court.
  3. Tactics & Proceedings
    Choose the right leverage and timing for cease and desist, preliminary injunction, lawsuit, or settlement to control the pace and outcome.
  4. egulatory proceedings & fines
    Structured statements in supervisory proceedings (e.g. data protection) can help to ward off or reduce sanctions.
  5. Communication & Negotiation
    Negotiate with opponents, courts and authorities without damaging your reputation or incurring additional risks.
