Collective legal protection and lindenpartners

Collective legal protection has been a key instrument for the judicial enforcement and defense of complex capital market and consumer law claims for many years. lindenpartners has been advising and representing clients in class actions, KapMuG (Capital Market and Financial Instruments Act) and association lawsuits since its inception-strategically, with litigation experience, and with scientific depth. Those who understand the opportunities and risks of collective proceedings from the outset can make targeted use of them. This is precisely what our advice is geared towards.
