Practice areas

Seven areas of law, one point of contact.

You explain your situation once — not seven times. Where a case crosses the boundaries of one area of law, responsibility stays with us.

01

Family law

Separation and divorce touch everything: children, home, income, future. Together with you, we sort out what needs to be settled legally — and in what order.

  • Divorce and its consequences
  • Child, separation and spousal maintenance
  • Custody and contact rights
  • Accrued-gains equalisation (Zugewinnausgleich) and division of assets
  • Protection against violence and interim orders
  • Marital and separation agreements

02

Employment law

For employees and employers. In employment law, deadlines often decide the outcome — after a dismissal, you have three weeks. Get in touch early.

  • Dismissal, dismissal with an offer of altered terms (Änderungskündigung), unfair dismissal claims
  • Termination agreements and severance payments
  • Formal warnings (Abmahnungen) — challenging and issuing them
  • Bonuses, commissions, variable pay
  • Non-compete and customer protection clauses
  • Employment contracts, employment references, cases under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG)

03

General civil law

The broadest area — from purchase contracts and contracts for work to liability. It usually comes down to a simple question: who owes whom what, and how do you prove it?

  • Purchase contracts, contracts for work and service contracts
  • Warranty and rights in respect of defects
  • Damages and liability
  • Consumer contracts and withdrawal
  • Review of standard terms and conditions (AGB) and contract drafting

04

Criminal law & administrative offences

An accusation is not yet a verdict. What matters is what happens in the first few days — and what is better left unsaid. First rule: stay silent and call.

  • Defence during the investigation and at trial
  • Access to the case file and having proceedings dropped
  • White-collar and property offences
  • Road traffic offences and driving licences
  • Regulatory fine proceedings (Bußgeldverfahren) and driving bans
Learn more
05

Debt collection

Unpaid invoices are not an accounting problem but a liquidity problem. The longer a claim is left lying, the harder it becomes to enforce.

  • Out-of-court reminders and demands for payment
  • Court order-for-payment proceedings (Mahnverfahren) and enforcement order (Vollstreckungsbescheid)
  • Legal action and obtaining enforceable titles for outstanding claims
  • Enforcement, attachment, debtor's statement of assets (Vermögensauskunft)
  • Suspending limitation periods before the turn of the year
  • Ongoing receivables management for companies
  • Defence against unjustified claims

06

Real estate law

Property ties up capital and nerves. From earlier work in the real estate and securities industry, we also know the commercial side of the business.

  • Purchase contracts and land law
  • Construction defects, property developer contracts (Bauträgerverträge)
  • Tenancies and leases
  • Condominium law (WEG)
  • Neighbour law and easements
Learn more
07

Equine and animal law

A specialist area of the firm. When horses are bought and sold, high values, veterinary medicine and difficult questions of proof come together — what counts here is experience with the subject matter, not just with the German Civil Code (BGB).

  • Horse purchases: defects, rescission, pre-purchase veterinary examination (Ankaufsuntersuchung, AKU)
  • Veterinary liability
  • Livery, training and stabling contracts
  • Animal keeper's liability
  • Competition, breeding and association rules
