During corporate disputes we appear for our clients at shareholder meetings and in court.

We advise on all issues of the law of commercial agents and other distribution channels:

  • Authorized Dealer
  • Consignment Stock
  • Franchise

We draft the appropriate agreements and deal with the after-contractual issues:

  • Termination
  • Severance Payment
  • Non-Competition Clauses
  • Waiting Compensation

We advise the entrepreneur on issues of competition, cartel and antitrust law. We draft or check all types of contracts in German or English. In addition, we support our clients in
M & A transactions, e.g. for the purchase and sale of companies or shareholdings. We appear as attorneys but also as arbitrators in German or International arbitration procedures.

If we do not have the required specialist in our own firm we will find him for you. For this we foster relations to a large number of other lawyers.

Furthermore we cultivate close contacts to proven lawyers in Europe and other important industrial countries. Thus we can also consult and assist our clients in their business abroad.

„We view ourselves as our clients‘ partner who supports
and helps to achieve their business and private aims.
Mutual trust provides the basis for successful cooperation.“

4. Social Media Plug-ins

Based on Art. 6 (1), sentence 1, lit. f of the GDPR, we use social plug-ins of the Facebook, Xing, Anwalt.de and Linkedin social networks on our website to make our law office better known by those means. The underlying promotional purpose must be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR.

When you click on one of these social plug-ins, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social networks.

The content of the social plug-in is directly transmitted by the respective social network to your browser and integrated into the website by your browser.

After the activation of a plug-in the respective social network can collect data regardless of whether you interact with the plug-in. If you are logged into a social network, the network can assign your visit on our website to your user account. If you are a member of a social network and do not want that the data collected when visiting our website are associated with your stored membership data, you must log out of the respective social network before activating a plug-in.

We do not have any influence on the type and scope of data collected by the social networks via their plug-ins. Regarding the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of data by the respective social networks as well as your rights in this regard and the configuration options for protecting your privacy, please consult the privacy notices of the respective social networks:
