Arbitration board of the legal profession

To arbitrate disputes between lawyers and clients, a central arbitration body that is independent of the regional bar associations was created at the Federal Bar Association (BRAK). This arbitration board of the legal profession acts in disputes between lawyer and client and supplements the arbitration offers of the regional bar associations. Information on the procedure before the arbitration board of the legal profession can be found on the Internet portal of the Federal Bar Association at www.schlichtungstelle-der-rechtsanwaltschaft.de.

Mediations

In the event of disputes between the client and the lawyer, the board of directors of the Braunschweig Bar Association offers a mediation procedure in accordance with the provision in Section 73 (2) No. 3 BRAO. At the request of one of the parties involved, a

member of the board of directors takes on the case and tries to find an amicable solution between the parties. A mediation process is usually only promising if both sides agree. The Chamber can submit a mediation proposal.

A mediation by the Bar Association is only possible to a very limited extent in fee disputes. Because the bar association is gem. Section 14 (2) RVG is obliged to provide expert opinions to the court if there is a dispute over the amount of a general fee charged

by the lawyer. In such cases, the board of directors may not carry out any out-of-court mediation.

Elimination and injunctive relief

The assertion of claims for removal and injunctive relief is inadmissible if, taking into account all the circumstances, it is abusive of the law, in particular if it primarily serves to create a claim for reimbursement of expenses or costs of legal prosecution against the offender. In these cases, the opposing party can demand reimbursement of the expenses necessary for his legal defense. Further compensation claims remain unaffected (Section 8 (4) UWG). Therefore, you are asked to provide a specifically presented message without sending a cost invoice, if the design or content of individual pages of this website or parts thereof violate the rights of third parties or legal provisions or are otherwise subject to competition law concerns in any form. If the complaint is justified, it is already agreed to adapt the relevant pages or parts of the pages or information from the pages to the legal requirements. Without enabling the person responsible to make a previous Internet correction, the involvement of a lawyer, who immediately sends a warning including a cost note, can represent the pursuit of irrelevant goals as the dominant motive for initiating the procedure and the intention to earn fees as the actual driving force and otherwise violates the duty to minimize damage.
