Our Expertise

Lieff Cabraser’s Munich office specializes in complex litigation, with a particular focus on cartel damages claims, as well as arbitration. Furthermore, we advise regarding the investment into such proceedings.

We represent clients across various industries, as well as financial investors and private equity firms in complex, high-value disputes, both in and out of court, in arbitration and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings.

Together with our U.S. colleagues and our broad network of leading experts across all major European jurisdictions, we develop tailored litigation, arbitration and investment strategies to achieve our clients’ objectives in Germany and throughout Europe.

As dedicated litigators and advisors, our mission is to develop strategic, value-driven legal solutions for harmed parties, plaintiffs, investors, and litigation funders.

Our Practice Areas

Antitrust & Competition

We guide our clients through every stage of cartel damages actions, abuse of dominance claims, and litigation following other competition law and regulatory infringements. Our team has broad experience in managing parallel proceedings across multiple jurisdictions. We collaborate closely with economic experts to quantify and recover damages.

Collective Redress & Mass Litigation

Particular expertise lies in the structuring, management, and litigation of national and multi-jurisdictional complex mass litigation and collective redress actions.

Complex Commercial Litigation and Arbitration

We represent German and international clients from a wide range of industries in litigation, arbitration and out-of-court dispute resolution proceedings – including in cross-border matters. Furthermore, we represent and advise with respect to disputes arising from litigation funding agreements and post-M&A disputes.

Development of Tailored Litigation Financing & Claims Monetization Solutions

We advise throughout the litigation funding and investment lifecycle – from assessing investment opportunities to structuring and negotiating funding agreements, deploying capital and repatriating returns. Our services particularly include case due diligence and the structuring of (multi-jurisdictional) litigation for investors and litigation funders.

Litigation Investment Structuring & Transaction Governance

Centered on litigation finance and claims monetization, we provide strategic advice on establishing and structuring litigation-focused investment platforms and litigation vehicles as well as on transaction-related governance.

Strategic Litigation Advice

We support our clients in developing tailored litigation strategies – even when we are not at the front line in court. We are experienced in supporting clients “behind the scenes” to help them achieve their commercial and strategic objectives.
