Information according to the Consumer Dispute Settlement Act (VSBG) and the ODR Directive

Gem. According to § 36 I VSBG we must indicate whether or not we are prepared to participate in arbitration proceedings in the event of a dispute with our clients. Since we prefer to argue for our clients and not against our clients, we usually resolve any disagreements with our clients face to face, so that no disputes arise in the first place. If, in extreme cases, the amicable options should not have led to a solution, we believe that conciliation proceedings will not help any more; the disputed question must then also be clarified in court. In line with the CDBG, we therefore make it clear that we will not participate in conciliation procedures. The competent consumer arbitration board would otherwise be the arbitration board of the bar, Neue Grünstr. 17, 10179 Berlin, can be reached on the Internet at www.s-d-r.org. This would be competent for disputes up to 50,000.00 euros. According to the so-called ODR Directive, as a precaution we also have to provide a link to the European Online Dispute Resolution Platform, which you can reach at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. You will find our e-mail address under the menu item “Contact”.
