Our commitment to commercial criminal law with discretion and top performance.

A major personal challenge for those affected

Industry services and the business press (JUVE, Legal500, Handelsblatt, Börsen Zeitung and others) rank us among the most respected law firms for commercial and criminal tax law. In 2017, our team, including partner Dr Sebastian Gall, received the "Law Firm of the Year for Commercial and Criminal Tax Law" award from the recognised industry service JUVE.

Absolute discretion in ongoing proceedings is always our top priority. After all, our clients are not only concerned with money and often personal freedom, but also with their reputation.

Company managers and executives are used to dealing with high workloads. However, specific criminal prosecution and often lengthy trial proceedings bring with them new challenges, in particular a high personal emotional burden.

Even in extremely complex cases, we always represent our clients' interests at the highest level - to which our many years of experience and specialisation make a decisive contribution. In recent years, we have been able to demonstrate this in proceedings that have attracted a great deal of attention throughout Germany and Europe, as well as in proceedings in which our clients have been able to avoid having the proceedings attended by the public.
