In this respect, the firm has a similar setup to Wirtz & Kraneis from Cologne, which also works frequently for directors and managers. In addition, however, its extensive experience in professional liability cases for tax consultants and lawyers stands out, where it is regularly mandated by a number of insurers. Often those affected also approach the firm directly. The lawsuit with the city of Eschborn was recently concluded with a successful settlement.
