Executive board and director liability
Where law, public relations and personal stress co-exist.
Company executives have to make streams of decisions every day. When doing so, they need to take a whole host of national and international legal requirements into account. And if they make the wrong decision, they potentially expose their companies and themselves to liability claims.
This is why numerous executive boards and managing directors of large and small and medium-sized enterprises regularly seek our advice in cases where claims have been made against them as a result of alleged breaches of corporate governance or corporate compliance rules. Since this can be a complex and very stressful time, expert support is invaluable.
In recent years, we have successfully represented our clients’ interests both in and out of court in numerous high-profile cases.
Decision-makers also benefit from our expertise in corporate criminal law and from our interdisciplinaryteams of experts who have been working together for many years.
