Our Services

  • Civil law encompasses all legal matters between private individuals and entities. This is distinguished from public law (police law, state organization law, building law, etc.), which regulates the legal relationships between private and state legal subjects.

    Whether you have questions about neighborly disputes, family law, breaches of contract, estate matters, property acquisitions, loans and investments, security payments, damages caused by defaults, travel issues, ongoing obligations (subscriptions), or similar matters, we are here to advise you.

  • We have already successfully accompanied several entrepreneurs in founding their own U.S. companies. We offer comprehensive packages, especially for foreign clients, who are often overwhelmed by the bureaucratic efforts involved in establishing a company in the U.S.. We advise on the choice of legal form, draw up tailor-made statutes for you in American and Chinese, accompany you to all notary, court and official appointments and give you the necessary knowledge for independent management of the company along the way.

  • Legal security is even less guaranteed in international business transactions than in exclusively national matters. In order to be protected as best as possible, it is always advisable to consult a lawyer before concluding a contract. We are happy to help with the drafting of internationally effective contracts, with or without the exclusion of the UN sales law. If the child has already fallen into the well, we will also help you to enforce claims against foreign debtors.

    If you have any questions about the employment of foreign employees or generally about various residence permits or need help in communicating with the authorities, come to us and together we can look for a solution.

  • Data protection law has attained new fame with the introduction of the GDPR. Since 2018, a whole series of rules of conduct have applied to those responsible (= anyone who processes personal data) whenever they are dealing with data that directly allows conclusions to be drawn about an identified or identifiable natural person. How is data allowed to be collected, how is it stored in compliance with the GDPR? How long can you keep data, what can you do with them in the meantime?

    We advise you from A-Z on the subject of data protection. Regardless of whether you need advice on data protection declarations, a data protection concept for your company or even an external data protection officer. We offer an inventory and a data protection impact assessment to protect your company from the significant sanctions of the GDPR.

  • Death accompanies life, casting its shadow on the path ahead, inevitable and final. As certain as death is, many people shy away from confronting the question of their own death or the death of loved ones. When someone dies, the heirs not only have to deal with their own grief, but also with the estate. This heavy burden can be considerably lightened and inheritance disputes avoided with a last will of the deceased that has been carefully prepared in advance. Taking the step of accepting your own passing will help your loved ones through a difficult time. So do not hesitate to contact us directly. We will advise you in an understanding, impartial, factually neutral and discreet manner.

    Family law is also often the scene of emotional conflicts, where a solution-oriented approach is not always effective. We stand by your side as emphatic advisors in the most difficult moments. We help you with divorce proceedings and ancillary matters, with questions about custody and visitation rights for joint children, guardianship matters and living wills.

  • Anyone who has built his or her own brand or intends to build one must always keep an eye on the protection of this brand from third-party access. At the national level, there is the possibility of registration at the DPMA or application as a Union trademark at the EUIPO.

    We would be happy to advise you on the subject of trademark protection and carry out the registration for you. If someone uses your trademark without authorization, we will take legal action on your behalf to ensure that your trademark is protected.

  • Labour law is the law applicable to the legal relationship between employer and employee. Its basic fact is dependent work. Not everyone who does work for others in a contractual relationship is subject to labour law, only those who do the work in the service of someone else, in a dependent relationship.

    Labour law serves to create social justice while structuring working conditions in accordance with the law. The mutual dependence of modern industrial society excludes an autonomous existence of the individual. It is therefore the task of the legal system to realize the idea of freedom and equality under the functional requirements of production methods based on the division of labour.

    The importance of labour law in the U.S. should not be underestimated and is often difficult to understand, especially for foreign employers. Legal advice is often necessary when a job is advertised in accordance with the AGG (General Equal Treatment Act). In addition, there are rules of conduct for the selection process for new employees and rules for the type, scope and remuneration of a job and its cancellation.

  • Civil law serves as an umbrella term for all legal matters between private legal subjects. This is distinguished from public law (police law, state organization law, building law, etc.), which regulates the legal relationships between private and state legal subjects.

    Regardless of whether you have questions about neighbourly disputes, family law solutions, breaches of contract or reversals, estate matters, property acquisitions, loan and investment issues, security payments, errands, damage caused by default, travel defects, ongoing obligations (subscriptions) or similar, we will be happy to advise you.
