Corporate Litigation

Corporate litigation concerns legal disputes in which corporations (and their bodies such as management, supervisory board, and works council) as well as shareholders are involved. Spigthoff Litigators came into being in 2001 from this specialism. Our track record in the field of corporate litigation is extensive, in national as well as international company disputes.

Corporate law and insolvency law

As company lawyers, we are all proficient in business law. Companies know best how to do business. But naturally, you want to avoid misfortune.

Commercial litigation

Entrepreneurs want to do business. Take steps, grow, form alliances. But things often go wrong in practice. Agreements appear to be unclear, expectations are not fulfilled, the relevant information only comes to light when the deal has already been done.

Corporate disputes and shareholders’ activism

A company has many stakeholders, each with their own particular interests: the management, supervisory board, shareholders, creditors and staff. These interests can clash.

Takeover disputes and private equity

In commerce, there are always winners and losers. This isn’t always the case, but mergers and takeovers do not always go according to plan. The deal might turn out to be less than satisfactory, sometimes from the outset, and sometimes when the deal is done.
