Gleiss Lutz is considered one of the leading addresses for dispute resolution: under the leadership of Stefan Rützel, who is experienced in financial and corporate as well as post-M&A disputes, the team has in-depth expertise in compliance-related follow-up proceedings - including in connection with corporate liability -, claims and liability claims enforcement as well as in defending clients against cartel damages claims. Class and mass lawsuits in the capital market and antitrust context, in which Eric Wagner is particularly active, as well as product liability and recall cases represent additional mainstays, while the team recently also experienced an increase in energy disputes - here, its representation of Lanxess, led by David Quinke, in the billion-dollar dispute over an EEG levy is particularly noteworthy. Andrea Leufgen is an experienced contact for transactional, banking and financial disputes as well as joint venture disputes, while Tobias Boecken focuses on conflicts in the construction and plant engineering sector.
