However, if possible, we use all kinds of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques such as mediation, conciliation proceedings, conciliatory proceedings, adjudication or arbitration. Furthermore, several of our specialist arbitration lawyers are themselves active arbitrators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Litigation<\/strong><br>As legal representatives, we represent the interests of our German and foreign clients in complex legal disputes before the German courts nationwide. We also prepare second opinions on the chances of success of legal disputes, support our clients in litigation-related public relations and coordinate parallel proceedings in different jurisdictions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Arbitration proceedings<\/strong><br>As party representatives, we represent our German and international clients in national and international arbitration proceedings according to arbitration rules of the major arbitration organisations (for example DIS, ICC, LCIA, SCC, Swiss Rules, VIAC and CEPANI) and in ad-hoc proceedings. Furthermore, several of our specialist arbitration lawyers are regularly appointed as arbitrators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alternative dispute resolution (ADR)\/mediation<\/strong><br>Our understanding of efficient conflict advice also incorporates systems of alternative dispute resolution (mediation, conciliation proceedings, adjudication or arbitration) that can save time and money in resolving conflicts. We work with our clients towards a suitable conflict resolution strategy and provide support through the necessary stages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interim legal protection<\/strong><br>In the case of impending legal violations and\/or asset management adversely affecting our clients, we represent our clients in the proceedings for interim legal protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mass proceedings<\/strong><br>With the \u201cLaw on the introduction of a model declaratory action for civil procedures <em>(MuKlag)<\/em>\u201d introduced in November 2018, businesses are now exposed to higher legal risks. We advise our clients of their rights and options in the defence of their claims in mass proceedings. We have a thorough experience in asserting and defending claims regarding test cases in capital market disputes based on the \u201cGerman Act on Exemplary Proceedings in Capital Market Disputes <em>(KapMuG)<\/em>\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enforcement<\/strong><br>After the successful completion of court or arbitration proceedings, we actually enforce our client\u2019s claims. We have extensive experience in enforcing state judgments and arbitration awards within the context of foreclosure.
