Specialised

Post-M&A Disputes

We deal, for example, with making or defending compensation claims following the discontinuance of transactions as well as making and defending claims arising from breach of guarantees. Our clients benefit in such disputes from our wide experience. Our contact partners have expertise on both sides – they not only act in the litigation but often also advise on complex takeover transactions. Our clients benefit from this extensive experience in Post-M&A disputes.

Our corporate litigation practice is also often nominated as arbitrator in Post-M&A disputes before arbitration tribunals.
