This is particularly relevant in light of the Code of Civil Procedure, under which all material facts must in principle be presented at the outset of the proceedings. Facts submitted late may be rejected by the court or result in considerable cost consequences. In appellate proceedings, new submissions are generally entirely excluded – meaning that omissions from the first instance cannot be remedied in the second instance. For this reason, all available and relevant documents should be sent to us – preferably by email – prior to the first consultation.

Any changes to your address, telephone number, or email address during an ongoing mandate must be communicated promptly, ideally in writing. Our firm must be able to reach you without delay at all times.

Court and official orders must be fulfilled carefully and within the prescribed deadlines. The late submission of evidence without sufficient justification may result in its rejection and, in the worst case, the loss of the proceedings.

Deadlines should be observed in such a way that the necessary applications can be processed by our firm no later
 than 5 business days before their expiry, as the preparation and processing of your information and documents also takes time.
If evidence, information, or cost advances are not provided or not provided in time, the relevant taking of evidence
will not take place, which can lead to a complete loss of the proceedings.
