Lawyers for Litigation

When business disputes cannot be resolved through commercial negotiations, our litigation lawyers step in to assert your rights. Our litigation specialists can represent you in national and international disputes across all relevant areas of commercial law. They not only leverage their own long experience in the field, in some cases acquired as judges, but also tap the expertise of lawyers from other practice areas where necessary. This enables our litigation experts to handle even complex and wide-ranging cases effectively.

Ideally, our litigation lawyers will advise you before a dispute arises, e.g. proactively adding clauses governing jurisdiction and choice of law to contracts and reviewing provisions that are particularly likely to trigger a dispute. They draw up risk and cost analyses, devise specific proposals to resolve issues and develop a viable strategy for litigation.

Should a dispute occur, our litigation lawyers work with you to develop offensive or defensive strategies, take care of project and risk management, and handle all correspondence and documentation. 
Once a judgment has been handed down, we ensure fast and effective enforcement of your claims.

This page contains a list of litigation lawyers at CMS. Feel free to contact us at any time.
