Firm History

Our partnership has its origins in two law firms in Bonn.

In 1906, Dr. Alex Meyer established a law firm in Bonn. In 1946 his son Alex Meyer-Köring took over the now respected and successful legal practice. In 1965, together with Dr. Constantin Privat a law firm that grew to five partners over the next 25 years.

In 1913 Dr. Peter Gilles admitted as a lawyer at the district court of Bonn. He connects in 1958 with Dr. Hans Hennekeuser to one of the first Bonn law firms, founded in 1966 by Jürgen v. Danwitz and later two more partners.

In 1990 the two partnerships merged under the name Meyer-Köring v. Danwitz Private together.

Since the turn of the millennium, the law firm has consistently focused on growth and specialization, which culminated in the opening of a second office in Berlin in 2002. In 2006 our law practice celebrated its 100th anniversary.

Since 2008, the law firm has operated under the name MEYER-KÖRING Rechtsanwälte Steuerberater. Today, MEYER-KÖRING is a renowned law firm operating nationwide with around 35 lawyers at two locations. The law firm has 18 partners, with one selected partner each managing the business in Bonn and Berlin.

Family

A family law dispute not only brings with it legal and economic problems, but also means a great deal of emotional stress. It is therefore particularly important for you to be well informed.

We advise and represent you with several specialist lawyers for family law. This includes all consequences of separation and divorce, and it applies equally to spouses and non-marital partners. It is not only our assertiveness that is important. We also keep in mind the goal of finding an economically viable solution that allows those involved to continue to treat each other fairly. This applies to the out-of-court area, but also in court.

In addition, we draw up and review marriage contracts, with which many disputes can be avoided or reduced in advance.
Professional exchange and the discussion of difficult legal issues with our colleagues working in these areas of law are part of our everyday legal work. Because when solving complex legal questions from family law, special expertise from other areas of law is often required in order to arrive at comprehensive solutions. If necessary, we put together interdisciplinary teams at short notice.

A large number of family law cases have an international dimension. For this reason, we are not only well versed in European and international family law, but also work with law firms worldwide when necessary.
