Mediation, litigation, arbitration
Procedural Law
When a dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation, the courts or arbitration are the way forward. At Trolle, we have one of Denmark’s most experienced litigation teams.
Procedural law covers the rules governing the conduct of court proceedings, arbitration, and mediation. The choice of the right forum and strategy is often crucial to the outcome of the case.
Our attorneys appear before all Danish courts — from the District Courts to the Supreme Court — and have extensive experience in arbitration and mediation. Several of our attorneys are members of the Supreme Court Bar (Højesteretsskranken).
We help with, among other things:
- Civil litigation
- Arbitration
- Mediation and conflict resolution
- Provisional measures and injunctions
- Class actions
- Mediation
Mediation is a conflict resolution method based on the idea that both parties should come away from the dispute as winners. At Trolle Law, we have extensive experience in this area, and experts specialising in mediation.
Mediation can be used in all types of business disputes. The setup is normally that the parties and their legal advisors meet with an independent person, called the mediator, and attempt to reach a solution that is acceptable to both sides. It is a confidential process that handles conflict resolution out of court. Mediation can be attempted where next step would otherwise be a court case. This allows the business relationship to continue.
Participation is voluntary, and the mediator has no authority to enforce a solution. The parties themselves must agree on a solution.
- Litigation
If charges are brought against your business, or if you wish to file a lawsuit against someone yourself, it is important that your case is handled by a lawyer with experience in litigation.
Trolle Law employs lawyers with years of experience in conducting legal proceedings at all levels – both in civil courts and in arbitration courts. They know exactly what is required in order to clarify and settle business disputes, and have built up great experience and expertise in conducting legal proceedings at all levels of the legal system. We can help right from initial examination of the case and written preparation to main hearing.
We can assist with the following:
- Negotiation of out-of-court settlements
- Exchange of pleadings and main hearings
- Processing of cases for administrative complaints bodies
- Handling of Danish and international arbitration cases
- Arbitration
If your business dispute is to be resolved by arbitration, Trolle Law can offer you a professional team, giving you a strong starting point.
It is standard procedure in business relations that business partners sign a written agreement that any dispute must be settled by arbitration rather than by going to court. It is important that these arbitration clauses are worded correctly so they are read and interpreted correctly. At Trolle Law, we have extensive experience in preparing arbitration clauses.
An arbitration court usually comprises three members who are not necessarily lawyers. The contending parties each appoint an arbitrator, while the third member is appointed jointly by both parties.
Trolle Law has extensive expertise in handling arbitration cases, both as appointed arbitrator and as attorney.
