Areas of expertise
We don't solve standard cases.
But yours.
Labor law
“No one can be just who is not human.
(Luc de Clapiers, Marquis de Vauvenargues)
It starts with the employment contract. And may end with termination. Or with retirement. It's about an interpersonal relationship.
The employment relationship between employer and employee in all its facets. More than anywhere else, the journey is the destination. We accompany you along the way. For medium-sized and large companies, executives, and selected private individuals. We observe. We listen. We find the right path at the right time. We also act in conjunction with works councils. And we never forget that people are the most important resource for a thriving business.
Real estate & tenancy law
“If you want to build high towers, you have to spend a long time on the foundation.
(Anton Bruckner)
From the foundation to the roof, the world of real estate is diverse.
Letters of intent and due diligence. Purchase and financing. Non-disclosure agreements, sales and settlement. Rental agreements, both commercial and residential. We also handle rent increases, cosmetic repairs, and maintenance. Utility bills with and without objection. Eviction notices and enforcement. No matter what floor is involved. We'll meet you wherever you are.
Corporate law
“The starting point for great companies often lies in barely noticeable opportunities.
(Demosthenes)
Companies in all legal forms. Including the associated resolutions and contracts. Notary appointments, commercial register registrations. Amendments to articles of association and share transfers. Acquisition of shelf companies. Whether GbR, OHG, GmbH, or KG, in every conceivable form.
We establish, modify, acquire, transfer, merge, and liquidate companies. Whatever your needs, you're in good company with us.
PRIVATE LAW
“For once I thought I was wrong. But for once I was wrong.
(Count Fito)
We are a commercial law firm. But our business clients have private lives. And even there, challenges arise from time to time. Occasionally, even of a legal nature. In individual cases, we take on the role. Because one thing intersects the other. Corporate management doesn't end at the office door. Responsibility, contracts – often more complex than they seem. We don't think in stereotypes. We think in context. There are no limits to your imagination.
Intellectual property rights
& Copyright
“Among people there are many more copies than originals.
(Pablo Picasso)
Thoughts are free. No one can guess them, and sometimes they can. But then they're usually not free. They're protected. For example, by copyright. Or intellectual property needs to be protected. Through registered trademarks or other intellectual property rights. Secured as unique pieces. We help with that. With advice and action. In attack and defense. Whenever possible, with a patent solution.
Commercial law
“People say, 'The customer is always right.' What nonsense. The customer is often wrong, and you have to tell them that.
(Michael O'Leary)
The Hanseatic merchant relies on a handshake.
But written contracts are necessary. When you're no longer getting along. Because they make it easier to prove the content of the agreement. Sales representatives, retail stores, online shops. No matter what the issue. General terms and conditions often complement each other. The imprint must be accurate. E-commerce with its specific rules. In the constant fast lane. Electronic. Bypassing Hanseatic customs and the occasional written contract. We ensure that you keep pace and overtake. Instead of being overtaken.
debt collection
“The prospect of better times is better in bad times than in good times.
(Proverb)
In short: If things are going badly and the debtors aren't paying, we'll make sure that changes. With demand letters, deadlines, threats of legal action, reminders and writs, legal action for payment, judgments, bailiffs and compulsory enforcement proceedings. We'll collect your outstanding debts. No ifs, ands, or buts. And only if the costs and benefits are in the right proportion.
Buying a house in Denmark
“The difference between existing and living lies in the use of vacation.
(American proverb)
Litigation
"It doesn't help to have the law on your side. You also have to reckon with the justice system.
(Dieter Hildebrand)
The reasons can be varied. The legal areas too. It can happen quickly or drag on. But one thing is always the same: The judges. Independent. Not bound by instructions. Sometimes jokingly called "godlike." In reality, they are human. Subjective despite all attempts at objectivity. Reliable predictions are rarely possible. Studies say that computers would be fairer. But we know the pitfalls. And we know the necessary litigation tactics. We go into detail to achieve the best possible result. No matter which side you're on. There's always a way.
IT & data protection law
“We are drowning in information and starving for knowledge.
(John Naisbitt)
Money rules the world. But there are greater values today. One of the greatest values of today is data. And banks are playing a role again. Databases. Stored in such databases, data provides economic power. And at the same time, it is sensitive material. Especially as part of information technology. GDPR! Software purchases, rentals, leasing. Data protection declaration. There's a jungle of rules here. We'll show you the way. Because we know the way.
Human rights
“I have a dream.
(Martin Luther King)
Human rights are not a footnote. They permeate everything. Sometimes visible. Often hidden. For us, they are headlines.
Not a side note. Whether in labor law – when equal treatment is violated; in asylum law – when protection is more than an administrative act; in criminal defense – when victims require protection as witnesses; or in international law – when borders must not restrict the law. This demonstrates what being a lawyer essentially means: Serving people across borders. Not assisting commerce and greed.
ASYLUM LAW
“Seven cities that had not granted him asylum during his lifetime fought over Homerus after his death.
(Thomas Heywood)
More than an application. Comprehensive protection. From persecution, violence, and disenfranchisement. Political. Religious. Personal. But this protection requires a process. And often patience. Recognition? Not guaranteed. Rejection? Often. Then what's still possible counts: hardship, tolerated status, humanitarian residence permit. We examine. Object. Support us – through a hearing, a decision, and a lawsuit. With determination, but without illusion. Asylum is not a right of grace. Because those who have reasons deserve to be heard.
Family law
“All happy families are similar to one another; unhappy families are different in their own way.
(Leo Tolstoy)
A structured, emotional world. Families need rules, too. Sometimes they're forward-looking—with a marriage contract, separation of property, or maintenance agreement. Sometimes they're in the thick of things—when conflicts arise, roles shift, and responsibilities must be redistributed. Custody, access, child support, separation and post-marital spousal support, accrued gain, adoption, and naming rights. We provide calm, clear, and precise advice. Always personal. Where it matters. Not everything can be avoided. But much can be managed. Even in difficult times.
inheritance law
“What you inherited from your father, acquire it to possess it.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Who gets what? And why? Emotions, expectations, and the law are often worlds apart. Legal shares, testamentary execution, inheritance. In the end, what matters is not what was intended, but what is regulated. We help avoid disputes. And resolve them, if necessary. Well-thought-out wills, clear dispositions, legally sound arrangements. Internationally, too. And with an eye on what remains. Responsibility – and a final will that doesn't fizzle out unanswered.
sportrecht
“What was yesterday is forgotten.
Next week I'll win again.
(Boris Becker)
Speed. Emotion. Pressure. But sport is also business. What counts is performance. And what's in the contract. Sponsorship, transfers, doping. Association law. Labor law in the professional sector. Those who make mistakes here don't just lose points. We advise athletes, clubs, and consultants. Discreetly, pragmatically, and clearly. Internationally too. Whether contract negotiations, suspensions, licensing issues, or social media clauses: these often have their own laws. And their own rules. Those who know them have an advantage. Even off the field.
