Frequently asked questions
German law, English communication – what you should know
Our four core practice areas are Criminal Law, Tax Law, Criminal Tax Law and White-Collar Crime. Further German-law matters include crypto, victim representation, criminal complaints and insolvency and restructuring.
No. You can instruct us from abroad. We are based in Göttingen, Germany, but represent clients throughout Germany. Many consultations, document reviews and strategic discussions can be handled in English by phone, video conference and secure digital communication.
As early as possible. In German criminal proceedings, you should obtain legal advice before making a statement about the allegations. In tax matters, deadlines, audits or notices from German tax authorities may require prompt action. Early involvement gives us more options to protect your position.
You can reach us by phone at +49 551 2737490, by email or through our contact form. Please tell us briefly what the matter concerns, which German authority or court is involved and whether any deadlines are running.
Please send the documents that best show the current status, such as a summons, search warrant, penalty order, indictment, correspondence from a German authority or court, tax assessment or notice of a deadline. We will then tell you which additional documents are required.
If a house search, arrest or another urgent criminal-law measure is taking place in Germany, you can also reach us outside normal office hours via our emergency number. Do not make a substantive statement before obtaining legal advice.
Yes. We regularly advise English-speaking clients by phone and video conference and handle documents digitally. A personal appointment in Göttingen is possible, but is not required for many matters.
Fees depend on the nature and scope of the matter. Before we undertake substantive work, we explain which legal services are required and the basis on which fees will be charged.
