Post M&A Disputes

One focus of our practice group is disputes in connection with M&A transactions. Such disputes arise in particular from a breach  of representation and warranty clauses in the purchase agreement, the breach of pre-contractual disclosure obligations, or in connection with purchase price calculation clauses.

Our practice group has extensive experience in all phases of such disputes (including expert opinion proceedings (Schiedsgutachterverfahren), litigation before state courts (including German commercial courts), and national and international arbitration proceedings. Our strength lies in particular in the accurate assessment of the facts and the convincing presentation of complex issues to the court or arbitral tribunal. Our clients benefit from our experience in M&A transactions and from our close cooperation with auditors who also specialize in post-M&A disputes. We have particular expertise in answering balance sheet and valuation questions.
