Polten & Associates - Experienced German-English Litigation Services
In a world that is increasingly swept up in globalization, it is more crucial than ever to have a law firm you can rely on to represent your interests in legal matters across borders.
At Polten & Associates in Toronto, we have extensive experience in handling a wide variety of contested legal matters. We offer skilled representation to our clients from Canada as well as German-speaking Europe.
Cross-Border Litigation Services
Our firm has a twenty-year history as a gateway linking the legal worlds of Germany and Canada within the evolving global economy. Two of our lawyers, Eric P. Polten and Gerhard M. Schertzer, are fluent in English and German, and have specialized expertise in conducting Ontario court actions on behalf of German clients, and in arranging the conduct of legal actions on behalf of Ontario residents against persons or corporate entities in Germany. Our native German-speaking legal and administrative assistant, Torsten Pyttlik, studied at the University of Dresden and worked within the legal system in Germany for over ten years.

Our Toronto lawyers and network of legal practitioners in Europe cooperate in marshalling the specialized expertise, experience and resources necessary to handle a broad range of cross-border litigation matters involving:
In addition to our resources in Canada and German-speaking Europe, our firm possesses the cumulative wisdom that can only be acquired through many years of experience in these complex legal areas. We temper our wisdom with pragmatism in carefully crafting legal strategies that address the unique needs of our clients.
