General Civil Law
General civil law covers day-to-day legal matters – from purchase contracts to online shopping.
When a contractual partner does not deliver
If the vehicle you bought has defects or your online order does not arrive, we help you enforce your rights – out of court or before the courts.
Enforcing claims
We collect outstanding claims for you – from payment reminder proceedings all the way to litigation and enforcement.
Drafting contracts
We draft and review contracts and make sure the wording protects your interests.
Frequently asked questions
When is a lawyer worth hiring in civil law matters?
Whenever out-of-court negotiations fail or when disputed amounts exceed a few hundred euros. Often a single solicitor's letter is enough to resolve the matter.
Do we have to go to court immediately?
No. We first explore out-of-court solutions – payment reminders, settlement negotiations, mediation – before filing a lawsuit.
Who bears the costs of civil litigation?
The losing party pays the costs as a rule. In a settlement, costs are typically split. Clients with legal-expenses insurance usually only pay the deductible.
