What we do
Graf & Partners provide step-by-step support if you are involved in a civil dispute in Germany. Civil litigation can be daunting, especially if it takes place in a foreign country and follows very different procedural rules than those which you are familiar with. Our team of German and international legal professionals will guide you through the German civil litigation process and make sure you obtain the best legal counsel. In international disputes we work closely with our legal counterparts in the USA, be it the in-house lawyer of our client or their U.S. litigation attorneys.
Our German civil litigation team will assist you with:
- Corporate & Commercial disputes
- Labor law disputes
- Inheritance and Trust disputes
- Contentious probate
- Tort claims
- Debt recovery
- Arbitration and business mediation cases
Settlements
If the parties are still on speaking terms, we will always attempt a settlement, either out-of-court or even after a lawsuit has been filed. Actually, German judges are obligated by German civil procedure rules to promote and proceed toward an amicable resolution of the dispute between the parties before they conduct an oral hearing. Our German civil litigation experts are familiar with and experienced in negotiating and drafting settlements. For details, read the post “How to settle a Lawsuit in Germany“.
How to hire a German lawyer
Graf Legal provides qualified legal advice and representation in all German commercial law, civil law and labor law matters, ranging from contract disputes, corporate litigation and employment, to damage claims and contentious probate. We are also experienced in commercial arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution.
