Do you want to separate or divorce? Would you like to get an initial overview of your situation? Does someone in your family have legal problems?

Our family law attorneys are at your side.

We work transparently. You should know what we do for you, what it brings and what it costs. At the beginning of our work there is always an agreement on the content and costs of the order.

SEPARATION

A judicial separation does not dissolve a marriage, but creates a status of its own with certain implications. When does a judicial separation make sense? We will be happy to answer your questions on the subject and support you in the further procedure.

Our lawyers get an idea of ​​your specific situation and help you to find the right solution for you and your family.

DIVORCE

We offer you a competent team of divorce lawyers and financial specialists who can advise you on all matters relating to matrimonial law. We are also happy to answer your questions about separation of property, participation in acquisitions, custody and child support. With excellent language skills and our international network of lawyers, we can also support you internationally if one of the spouses lives or works abroad.

Our divorce lawyers will be happy to represent your interests and advocate for your concerns.

CHILD REPRESENTATION

We also represent minors, i.e. children and young people, in divorce and separation proceedings, as counsel for division of estates or in child protection proceedings, criminal proceedings for young people or criminal proceedings. Our children's lawyers accompany and support you and your child in court and in dealing with the law enforcement authorities (e.g. the KESB).

As a company founder, would you like advice and support with implementation? Do you already have a company and would like to change the legal form or are you looking for investors and would like to draw up the contract?

Our lawyers specializing in corporate law, commercial law and commercial law will be happy to support and advise you on all corporate law matters. Our team also includes compliance specialists and mediators, whom we can consult at any time when founding a company and in all areas of corporate and commercial law.

SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENTS

As the owner of a stock corporation or GmbH, you want to focus on your core business and avoid disputes. A shareholder agreement or partnership agreement will help you with this.

Are you wondering whether such a contract makes sense in your case, what the advantages are and when it is not advisable? We have the answers.

We look at your individual situation and find the best way for you.

RESTRUCTURING

Restructuring processes are often complex and demanding. They must be well prepared and thought out. We would be happy to advise you on this. We check your initial situation and are at your side. Whether it is a merger, a demerger or a joint venture: we will accompany you and your team through this process.

ADVICE

Whether as an outsourced legal department or on a case-by-case basis: our services are tailored to your needs.

We advise you on legal issues relating to the founding, restructuring and liquidation of companies and also support you with succession planning. We deal with national and international contract law and represent you in contract negotiations as well as in court proceedings.

We protect you from unjustified claims and enforce your claims. With our extensive technical know-how, you can also rely on us in complex disputes in which not only the legal but also the technical knowledge of the company concerned is important.

Did the public prosecutor's office summon you as the accused person for questioning?

Are you unsure of your rights as an accused person? For example, does the right to remain silent apply?

A subpoena must generally be obeyed unless there is a good reason not to. This must be reported to the law enforcement authorities in advance and at an early stage. Anyone who does not appear after a summons without an excuse must expect a fine or even a police presence.

It is important to our criminal lawyers to provide you with transparent information about your situation and your chances in criminal law and to accompany you throughout the entire process.

We will answer all your questions without prejudice and show you your options for action.

In the age of digitization, the protection of intellectual property is of the utmost importance. Logos, names and images can be copied and used elsewhere without much effort.

How can you protect yourself from this? For example, how can your company protect an invention or new packaging from imitators? And when is a warning formally correct?

Competition law includes the law of unfair competition and the law against restrictions of competition (antitrust law). Media law defines how and what may be reported and how images may be used. Our lawyers will be happy to advise and represent you nationally and internationally and show you ways of protecting yourself from infringements of intellectual property or defending yourself against them. Protect your brand and your products right from the start - this is the only way you can build up sustainable, successful brands.

Legal areas:

Do you need a litigator to assist you in a court proceeding?

Good lawyers are not necessarily good litigators. The best legal expertise is of course a must for all our lawyers. The task of the litigator is to assert your claims in court according to the existing rules, which are sometimes complex, especially for laypersons. Before initiating a process, a number of important issues must be decided. Mistakes made at this stage can sometimes no longer be corrected later - and above all not without consequences. As a rule, it is therefore advisable to seek advice before initiating court proceedings. Our litigators are characterized by very good negotiating skills. They have extensive experience in court and are fully committed to you and your interests.

Rely on the best skill and highest competence.

Services:

• Due process
• Arbitration
• Free legal aid
• Recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions
• Debt enforcement and bankruptcy law (debt collection)
• mediation
