Practice areas

Companies need fair rules of the game. We assist with competition-law questions, antitrust reviews and merger control. Our goal is to minimise risk, secure room for manoeuvre and make markets legally secure, so that your business can grow successfully in a clear environment.

Shared property carries potential for conflict. We advise on the purchase, use and management of condominium ownership, clarify rights and obligations and represent you in disputes. In this way we create transparency and legal certainty for communities of owners and individual interests.

White-collar criminal law calls for a sensitive touch. We defend in proceedings concerning fraud, breach of trust, corruption or financial offences. Our strength lies in making complex facts understandable and representing our clients resolutely throughout every phase of criminal proceedings.

We review claims for damages, enforce them consistently or defend against them. Whether it is a breach of contract, a breach of a duty of care or accident damage, we bring clarity to complex situations and represent our clients' interests on a sound legal footing and with determination.

We implement data protection with legal certainty and anchor it in day-to-day operations.

Cross-border transactions require legal certainty in the EU context. We advise on Europe-wide contract issues and provide clarity with regard to EU law requirements, so that international business runs smoothly.

Personal situations require legal clarity. We assist with marriage contracts, divorces and questions of custody. Our approach is to defuse conflict, create fair solutions and ensure legal certainty throughout, with empathy and the necessary legal rigour.

Succession and the distribution of assets require legal precision. We advise on wills, compulsory portion claims and inheritance disputes. Our goal is clear arrangements that avoid disputes and protect interests, so that assets pass to the next generation with legal certainty.

We manage your major project reliably: discreetly, in a structured way and efficiently.

Legal issues with authorities are often complex and time-consuming. We represent clients in administrative proceedings and work consistently to ensure that our clients' rights are heard by authorities and courts alike.

In reorganisations, forward-looking tax planning is just as important as precise contract drafting. We advise on conversions, contributions in kind, mergers, real divisions and demergers and, working with tax law specialists, identify routes to tax advantages. With a clear legal and tax structure, we secure economic efficiency and avoid costly mistakes in transformation processes.

We draft and review tenancy and lease agreements and act in terminations, rent disputes and evictions. Whether it is a flat, commercial premises, a business lease or farmland, we first establish which rules apply and align the agreement with them.

We support businesses through trade registrations, operating plant proceedings and permits from the authorities. Through sound legal safeguards, we create clarity in dealings with the authorities and enable businesses to concentrate on their core business, on a stable footing and within a legally secure framework.

Ideas and intellectual property are assets. We protect trade marks, designs and copyright, assist with registrations and represent you in cases of infringement. With precise advice, we secure your rights and create the basis for sustainable, creative and commercial success.

The use of water is comprehensively regulated. We assist with permits, clarify ownership and usage rights, and represent clients in water-law proceedings. In this way we make sure that projects are legally secure and can be carried out in an economically sound way.
