International Legal Consulting

As globalization is moving forward, trade increasingly leads to competition with companies from other nations. Besides complying with international standards of fair trade, legal rules of national laws need to be followed. Over the years, WINHELLER Attorneys at Law have gained extensive legal experience in this area. We represent our clients in Germany, Europe, and – with the help of our cooperating partners — overseas.

Contingency Fee Agreements in Antitrust or similar Law Suits

Due to Germany's antitrust law reform in 2005, individual claimants more frequently file lawsuits against antitrust violators. Decisions by the European Commission and national antitrust agencies are binding on follow-up civil proceedings as to the infringement of the antitrust laws. WINHELLER Attorneys at Law work closely with their U.S. partner firm Barroway Topaz Kessler Meltzer & Check, LLP to represent corporate plaintiffs in high-profile antitrust law suits. Depending on the facts and circumstances, this strategic alliance may allow us to take cases on a contingency fee basis, avoiding the risk of high litigation costs for the client.
