All court and official documents must be forwarded to our office without delay. Missing deadlines can result in a

complete loss of the proceedings!

The preparation of objections, appeals, and appellate submissions frequently requires extensive preparation and, if necessary, multiple revisions. Therefore, mandates granted shortly before a deadline expires can generally not be accepted by our firm, as submissions prepared under significant time pressure carry an increased risk of error. 

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.

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.
