Corporate & Commercial Disputes

For businesses that need to recover amounts owed, or that face an internal corporate dispute — between shareholders/partners, or concerning management — and for those harmed by unfair-competition practices. Most of these matters follow a judicial or quasi-judicial route.

Mixed process

Matters that may be resolved out of court or may require litigation, depending on the case.

Action and interim measures for unfair competition (cease-and-desist, removal, damages)
Trade-secret protection — formal notice, interim measures and action

Litigation

Matters that typically proceed before a court.

Obtaining a payment order based on invoices and a commercial contract
Obtaining a payment order on a dishonoured cheque
Obtaining a payment order on a bill of exchange or promissory note
Actions concerning the validity of AE general meeting resolutions
Derivative/company action for the liability of directors or managers
Application for an extraordinary audit and exercise of a shareholder's/member's information rights
Petition for the exclusion of a partner/member or for judicial withdrawal (OE/EE/IKE)

What to expect

A payment order is faster than an ordinary action when the claim is evidenced in writing (invoice, cheque, bill of exchange) — it is issued without a full hearing, though the debtor retains a right to object.

In corporate disputes, the process and the competent court depend on the company type — this is clarified at the initial meeting.

What to bring to your first meeting
