HORAK. RECHTSANWÄLTE · LAW AND TECHNOLOGY
Technical disputes need a clear evidential case.
We represent businesses before German civil courts in disputes concerning machinery contracts, defects, delay, payment, production losses and related intellectual property matters.
Turn technical facts into provable claims
We structure the chronology, contractual requirements, test results and technical documentation. Working with your engineers and suitable independent experts, we identify what must be proved and which facts are disputed.
Questions often concern the agreed specification, acceptance, causation, responsibility for interfaces and the calculation of losses. A technically plausible explanation must also satisfy the applicable procedural requirements and burden of proof.
Evidence and urgent protection
Depending on the facts, measures may include a self-contained evidentiary procedure under German procedural law, preservation of samples and electronic records, or interim court relief. Urgency, proportionality and the limits of available remedies must be assessed individually.
A pre-action demand or settlement discussion does not necessarily protect against expiry of a limitation period. We consider limitation, agreed dispute steps and the relevant procedural measures together.
Commercial strategy throughout the case
We assess recovery prospects, cost exposure, enforceability and opportunities to settle. Negotiation, mediation or an expert process may continue alongside litigation. A settlement must address performance, payment, security and the treatment of future defects clearly.
