Avoiding conflicts of interest: Acc. to sec. 45 BRAO no Attorney is allowed to accept a mandate, he previously delt with as a Notary. In order to avoid such collisions, name registers must be kept and checked before taking on any mandate.

Dispute settlement: There is an arbitration order from the Hamm Bar Association (Free arbitration in property law disputes due to an alleged poor performance of the lawyer's contract from an existing or terminated client relationship). Since 2013 there has also been an arbitration option at the Federal Attorneys chamber and since 2016 for extrajudicial online dispute resolution if there is an online established contractual relationship, this EU-Platform. I am ready to participate in dispute settlement procedures at one of these arbitration boards.
