Commercial and civil law disputes

Dr. Thiele’s legal practice is focused on the advice and legal representation of clients in commercial and civil law disputes (nationwide). This comprises court actions, but also the pre-litigation stage, where it should be considered whether a judicial conflict can amicably be avoided.

Dr. Thiele represents his clients not only in disputes before state courts, but also in alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, like arbitration proceedings, mediation, conciliatory proceedings and other ADR instruments. Besides the client representation, Dr. Thiele may also be involved as an arbitrator, for example in ICC, DIS, ad hoc or adjudication proceedings.

In individual cases, our practice also advises with regard to contract negotiations and contract design: by involving an experienced litigator, implementing unfair contractual provisions or those likely to cause conflict can be avoided in advance.
