Given the global nature of our commercial landscape, it is unsurprising that cross-border commercial disputes are becoming increasingly common. This is a clear reason to engage the services of a law firm that truly understands the German legal system.
When a UK business has growth aspirations beyond our borders, or your German business has or wishes to develop commercial interests in the UK, the need to resolve disputes across different jurisdictions both efficiently and effectively becomes a critical business need in these challenging times.
Regardless of where you are based, all businesses rely on developing strong working relationships with customers and clients. Nevertheless, disputes that disrupt and threaten the viability of companies are inevitable.
The experienced team here at Buckles includes skilled problem-solving lawyers, Commercial Mediators and Solicitor Advocates thereby ensuring we have you covered wherever you trade. If required, we will be happy to assign a German-speaking lawyer to assist with your case.
Following many years spent assisting businesses with matters that have a German perspective, we have developed strong links with the German law firm, Graf and Partners. Working collaboratively, we can provide our corporate clients with expert guidance and support, in the UK and in Germany.
Given the time and costs involved in formal court proceedings can often become disproportionate, we believe arbitration can be a preferable means of alternative dispute resolution in cross-border matters. When handled by experts, resolutions achieved through arbitration are typically easier to enforce across borders thanks to the international conventions, treaties and agreements designed specifically for that purpose.
Our experienced team will help you to navigate the jurisdictional issues and enforcement challenges when resolving cross-border commercial disputes. Crucially, we understand the enforcement mechanisms available to ensure a successful outcome for our clients.
We are skilled in all forms of dispute resolution including mediation and expert determination, but when litigation is necessary, we will actively represent your business interests here or in Germany, pursuing or defending claims, while helping you manage the associated costs and risks.
If your business faces challenges here or in Germany, please get in touch today. We can help you to understand the next steps in resolving the disputes that keep you awake at night.
