Natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal arbi­tra­ti­on pro­cee­dings are a form of dis­pu­te reso­lu­ti­on that has espe­cial­ly gai­ned in impor­t­ance in recent years. It takes par­ti­cu­lar account of the respec­ti­ve eco­no­mic inte­rests of the parties.

Our mem­bers­hip in various arbi­tra­ti­on orga­ni­sa­ti­ons gives you access to insti­tu­tio­na­li­sed arbi­tra­ti­on. This espe­cial­ly con­cerns pro­cee­dings at the Inter­na­tio­nal Cham­ber of Com­mer­ce in Paris (ICC), pro­cee­dings at the Ger­man Insti­tu­ti­on of Arbi­tra­ti­on (DIS) but also so-cal­led ad hoc pro­cee­dings. We repre­sent you as a par­ty in arbi­tra­ti­on pro­cee­dings or sup­port you as arbi­tra­tors, in par­ti­cu­lar in com­mer­cial disputes.

Our expe­ri­ence ran­ges from the pre­pa­ra­ti­on, initia­ti­on, imple­men­ta­ti­on and decisi­on of arbi­tra­ti­on pro­cee­dings to the enfor­ce­ment of arbi­tral awards. You bene­fit from the law office’s many years of inter­na­tio­nal expe­ri­ence and lin­gu­is­tic diversity.

In a con­tem­pora­ry infor­ma­ti­on socie­ty, in which both pri­va­te and public sec­tor acti­vi­ty is depen­dent on the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data, we hand­le the com­plex detail­ed pro­blems of data pro­tec­tion for you, pro­vi­de you with com­pre­hen­si­ve con­sul­ta­ti­on on data pro­tec­tion law and data pro­tec­tion trai­ning for your employees. Addi­tio­nal­ly, as an out­sour­ced data pro­tec­tion office, we are able to take over your sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion tasks.

This also inclu­des acting as an exter­nal data pro­tec­tion offi­cer for our cli­ents. In case of data pro­tec­tion vio­la­ti­ons, we repre­sent your inte­rests vis-à-vis the super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ties and enfor­ce your rights to infor­ma­ti­on and disclosure.

During our trai­ning for data pro­tec­tion offi­cers in the con­text of CCI Düs­sel­dorf cer­ti­fi­ca­te cour­ses, we recei­ve diver­se impul­ses from the world of work, which in turn make it necessa­ry to adapt data pro­tec­tion con­cepts, e.g. the estab­lish­ment of home workplaces.

Data pro­tec­tion law is embed­ded in infor­ma­ti­on tech­no­lo­gy law which forms the legal frame­work for the deve­lo­p­ment of new soft­ware pro­ducts. which forms the legal frame­work for the deve­lo­p­ment of new soft­ware pro­ducts. In this con­text we are invol­ved in the draf­ting and nego­tia­ti­on of com­plex soft­ware deve­lo­p­ment con­tracts. We repre­sent our cli­ents in the nego­tia­ti­ons of pro­ble­ma­tic soft­ware con­tracts in order to avoid expen­si­ve and leng­thy court proceedings.

Natio­nal and inter­na­tio­nal sales and work con­tract law are just as much part of the requi­re­ments of an eco­no­mi­c­al­ly ope­ra­ting com­pa­ny as are the draf­ting and revi­si­on of con­tracts and gene­ral terms and con­di­ti­ons or the invol­ve­ment of com­mer­cial agents.
We ans­wer the resul­ting legal ques­ti­ons for you, which also inclu­des the judi­cial or extra­ju­di­cial enfor­ce­ment or defence of claims.

The con­sul­ta­ti­on and repre­sen­ta­ti­on of medi­um-sized fami­ly busi­nes­ses as well as our con­su­lar acti­vi­ties not infre­quent­ly result in the neces­si­ty to pro­vi­de com­pre­hen­si­ve sup­port in lar­ge sca­le fami­ly law dis­pu­tes. Along­side natio­nal pro­cee­dings, this also app­lies to divor­ce pro­cee­dings with an inter­na­tio­nal dimen­si­on, such as pro­prie­ta­ry dis­pu­tes invol­ving assets in dif­fe­rent coun­tries. In this con­text, the imple­men­ta­ti­on of media­ti­on pro­ce­du­res has pro­ven effective.

Glo­ba­li­sa­ti­on has meant that almost all pro­ducts of dai­ly life incre­a­singly reach us from dif­fe­rent regi­ons of the world. The import and export of goods is sub­ject to nume­rous spe­cial regu­la­ti­ons, the non-obser­van­ce of which can have serious con­se­quen­ces. This app­lies, for examp­le, to the collec­tion of avo­ida­ble cus­toms duties through to finan­cial sta­te sanctions.

The main issu­es here inclu­de cus­toms tariffs, tariff quo­tas, pre­fe­ren­ces, remis­si­on and reim­bur­se­ment of cus­toms duties, cus­toms pro­ce­du­re law, the car­ry­ing out of com­pa­ny audits and the asso­cia­ted repre­sen­ta­ti­on befo­re the aut­ho­ri­ties, finan­ce and admi­nis­tra­ti­ve courts or Euro­pean courts, in which we can sup­port you.
