CRIMINAL DEFENSE

Expertise in Complex Legal Fields: White-Collar Crime, Tax Criminal Law, and Capital Criminal Law
White-collar and tax criminal law place particularly high demands on legal representation due to the complexity and multifaceted nature of such cases.
Economic offenses such as embezzlement, insolvency mismanagement, or bankruptcy often have profound consequences for the personal and professional lives of the accused. In addition to legal expertise, defending against these allegations requires a deep understanding of economic interrelations. Our firm, with years of specialization and a proven track record in successfully handling numerous white-collar crime cases, possesses the knowledge and experience necessary to defend you effectively. Since accusations in this field frequently result in reputational damage that undermines the presumption of innocence, we place particular emphasis on preventive consultation and strategies to protect your public image.
Tax criminal law is similarly challenging, characterized by the interplay of tax regulations and criminal procedure. This complexity often leads to unintentional violations, such as tax evasion. Our team is highly specialized in navigating these intricate legal issues, supporting you in tax matters, and helping mitigate or avoid potential criminal penalties.
Corruption allegations also frequently arise from a lack of familiarity with complex legal regulations, particularly in the professional realm. These accusations can burden individuals without any criminal intent. Our firm offers expert advice and defense in such cases, while also helping you implement preventive measures to safeguard against future risks.
In cases involving severe accusations under capital criminal law—such as murder (§ 211 StGB), manslaughter (§ 212 StGB), or bodily harm resulting in death (§ 227 StGB)—we provide comprehensive legal and emotional support. Our attorneys combine legal precision with interdisciplinary expertise and approach these highly sensitive cases with empathy and discretion.
Beyond white-collar crime, tax law, and capital offenses, our firm also represents clients in general criminal law. Whether accused of theft (§§ 242 ff. StGB), robbery (§§ 249 ff. StGB), bodily harm (§§ 223 ff. StGB), fraud (§ 263 StGB), extortion (§§ 253, 255 StGB), or crimes against personal honor such as defamation, slander, and libel (§§ 185 ff. StGB), we stand firmly by your side as your legal advocates.
LEGAL AREAS

Additional Burdens from Criminal Law Consequences and Media Pressure
A criminal proceeding often entails serious collateral consequences that can manifest even before a verdict is reached. For instance, disciplinary actions are frequently initiated against civil servants or other public employees long before the conclusion of the criminal trial. In such cases, a specialized defense with a strategic and forward-looking approach is essential.
Media coverage poses an additional challenge that many defendants find particularly distressing. Our firm offers expert support in all matters of media law. Whether it involves newspaper articles, social media posts, or interviews, our team works tirelessly to safeguard your personal integrity. We provide advice on legal measures, such as injunctions, and assist in pursuing potential claims for damages. Media-driven reputational harm, often perceived as equally burdensome as the criminal charges themselves, requires targeted and experienced responses, which our firm is well-equipped to provide.
