Avoid personal liability pitfalls with customised solutions for board members and managing directors.

Company managers are faced with a flood of decisions to be made on a daily basis. They have to comply with many national and international legal requirements - with far-reaching potential liability consequences for the company and for them personally.

This is why board members and managing directors of large and medium-sized companies regularly rely on our advice in the complex and, above all, personally stressful situation of a possible claim due to a breach of corporate governance or corporate compliance rules.

In this area, we have successfully represented the interests of our clients both in and out of court in numerous high-profile proceedings in recent years.

Decision-makers also benefit from our additional expertise in white-collar criminal law and our interdisciplinary teams of experts who have worked together for many years.

As investigations against board members and managing directors are often accompanied by a strong public interest, we also coordinate internal and external communication upon request.
