The
integrated team structure of our law fi rm enables us to provide sustainable advice covering all areas of business law. Our clients are mainly commercial enterprises and individuals from medium-sized businesses, which benefit from our expanding range of multi-disciplinary services. We always have our finger on the pulse of time, thanks to our law firm’s location in the business and technology hub of the Rhine-Main region. This allows us to provide consulting services to our clients that are not only up-todate, but also sustainable and future-oriented.
Our professionals are united by years of successful cooperation based on partnership, coupled with the pride of being part of a team characterised by integrity and strength. Our daily work is carried out in the awareness of our responsibility towards our clients and the pleasure of engaging in creative, value-adding activities. We attach particular importance to the development of long-term and trust-based client relationships, which often lead to friendly relations or business cooperation with our clients that go beyond purely legal advice.
As a member of the International Network of Law and Consulting Firms “PRAGMA”, our law fi rm has an excellent global network that extends beyond the borders of the Rhine-Main region. This enables us not only to recommend legal contacts beyond Germany and Europe to our clients, but also to establish direct
contact.
Our firm enjoys an excellent reputation in the German market fo its expertise in litigation and conflict management. These areas of activity have been among the core competencies of our law firm since its foundation and form the basis of our consulting services. We are particularly active in the fields of corporate law, liability law as it pertains to independent professional service providers, tax law, insurance law, labour law, data protection and IT law, competition law and intellectual property law.
Based on our many years of successful forensic practice, our advice is focussed on precise and well-structured preparation of the facts relevant to the decision, as well as the goals and interests of our clients, to find sustainable solutions in the interests of our clients. Thanks to the pronounced interdisciplinary cooperation
between our professionals, we are often able to recognize conflicts as they arise and solve them out of court on a factual level. Our daily practice is characterized by the realization that legal problems are rarely static or one-dimensional due to the increasing mechanization and economization of law and its entrepreneurial context. These aspects must be reflected in the decision-making process in order to find a sustainable overall solution for the legal issues of our clients. Our goal is not only to solve legal issues, but also to pave the way to new economic opportunities for our clients.
Thanks to our proven team structure and fl at hierarchies, our clients benefit not only from a continuous and consistently high quality of advice and service, but also from a flexibly adaptable remuneration concept, without having to fear escalating costs. In addition to our daily consulting practice, further specializations
and continuous further training are an important part of our quality standards. Our specialists not only undertake continuous professional development on their own behalf, but also contribute to the development of academic discourse through publications in the legal literature. In addition, we also off er our clients specially tailored training courses, focussed for example on the implementation of laws, the development of
implementation concepts, or as a reaction to legal infringements in the areas of law mentioned. In addition, our professionals are also active as lecturers at universities in order to integrate their experience from daily practice into academic teaching and to introduce students to practical experience as early as possible.
As a future-oriented and innovative law firm, our professionals are currently developing a platform, together with a friendly business partner, which will enable us to initiate a value creation process for new design concepts and strategies for our clients and friendly companies. The aim is also to use the platform for the exchange of ideas and legal discussion. This will provide our clients and business partners with a forum for legal topics and questions outside of the normal conference rooms in order to develop solutions together through the open exchange of knowledge and experience.
We are always interested in exchange and crosspartnership cooperation with colleagues and companies and we would be delighted if we have sparked your interest in our law firm.
