Our team will also assist you in litigation and arbitration proceedings. And we also act as experts in disputes. We render assistance at every stage of the lawsuit and bring subject-matter and industry specialists together from various sectors as needed. That’s how we are able to conduct valuations, assess claims for damages or examine claims for damages arising from competition law.

Our services

We understand our clients and our job. We find the right solution for every challenge you face.

Experts for a party to the dispute or for the court

As experts we make assessments on all kinds of economic questions. For example, we regularly advise and give expert opinions on situations that come about from decisions made by regulatory and competition authorities.

Out-of-court advisory

As consultants or as experts, we will always support you out-of-court with all your financial questions.

General business consulting

The need for business consulting and questions related to it come about for the most varied reasons. For cases like these, we have contacts ready to find just the right solution for your specific problem.

International and national arbitration

Whether arbitration takes place under international or national rules, we act as experts commissioned by the parties for economic questions, often for loss assessments. Here, we follow the approach of conducting the evaluation based on an economic analysis of the contract. We also work as independent experts appointed by the tribunal or make ourselves available to the parties as a jointly selected independent arbitral tribunal.

Private investor/market investor tests

We will assist you with our long-term experience with questions about state support as a civil servant (Beihilfe). This includes expert appraisal on whether decisions made by public bodies concerning particular measures or transactions have been made based on economic assessments comparable to those acting in the private sector (‘private investor/market investor tests’). Furthermore, we will help you through all the subsequent steps.

Success story

Assistance with a claim (example)

Assistance with a claim (example)

THE JOB
A company in the automotive industry was sued for damages. According to the claim, the company had not observed certain contractual obligations arising from contracts that had been assumed a long time before. This had allegedly hindered the claimant from expanding in a certain direction, which had led to a loss of profits. We were asked by the company to examine and give an opinion on the simplified calculation of damages that the claimant presented.
IMPLEMENTATION
As part of our examination of the calculation of damages, we worked out the main economic requirements connected to the purported particular expansion. We demonstrated the investments linked to this expansion as well the changes to competition arising from this expansion. We quantified the magnitude of both the main factors influencing the simplified calculation of damages.
RESULT
We produced an expert opinion on the assessment of the calculation of damages that we had undertaken, in which our results were clearly recognisable. This opinion served as the main basis for the position of the law firm representing the automotive company in the case and was eventually taken as the basis for the out-of-court agreement that was achieved.
