Litigation
It is not always possible to resolve business conflicts through negotiation. Experienced litigation lawyers are needed to enforce or defend against contentious claims before state courts.
CMS's Dispute Resolution Practice Area Group is one of the most frequently recommended practices for litigation. The approximately 80 litigation experts in our team advise DAX-listed corporations as well as large and medium-sized companies from a wide range of industries ahead of commercial law disputes. If an amicable solution cannot be reached, they seamlessly take over representation in court.
Clients benefit here from litigation experience acquired over many years. In addition, when the successful enforcement or defence of claims requires it, our lawyers draw on the know-how of colleagues from other practice areas, such as Corporate/M&A, Commercial, Technology, Media & Communications, Banking & Finance, Energy and Insolvency.
We solve complex conflicts of all kinds
Our Dispute Resolution Practice Area Group is notable for its high level of competence in progressing and managing litigation. Getting a detailed grasp of the matter and fully understanding the commercial context are extremely important to us. We take a strategic approach to the litigation we conduct on your behalf and impress in court through our professionalism and rhetorical skills. We are members of the relevant professional associations and interest groups and help shape the latest developments in the field of dispute resolution.

We also represent our clients in international disputes before the state courts, often in conjunction with colleagues from across the CMS network.
