Fields of law

We advise shareholders and companies on the enforcement of their respective interests.

For example, at our request, the Cologne Regional Court ordered a majority shareholder to make a full distribution in order to protect the interests of the minority shareholder represented by us.

We advise in all areas of civil law at the highest level.

For example, we are currently successfully representing the interests of mask traders against the Federal Republic of Germany.

We represent clients in all areas of administrative law.

Particularly in the area of public building law and nature conservation law, we have earned a high reputation through our nationwide legal review proceedings and interim legal protection proceedings.

We advise publishers, journalists, researchers, NGOs, companies and citizens on the enforcement of their rights to information and access.

We are regarded as the boutique law firm for access to information claims, in particular due to the archiving proceedings against the BND for the disclosure of documents relating to Adolf Eichmann and the proceedings against the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania regarding the Nord Stream Pipeline.

We advise on all aspects of compliance, in particular on data protection law, anti-corruption law, money laundering law and all proceedings against discrimination of any kind.

For many corporations and companies, we provide the data protection officer (HdK Berlin), the ombudsperson (Charité) or the ombudsman (Oberlin Foundation, Abraham Geiger College).

We provide comprehensive advice on media law (e.g. art and copyright law, stage arbitration law, trademark law and music law).

We represent the estates of artists, in particular in restitution proceedings and in the structuring of estates by foundations.

We represent clients nationally and internationally before arbitration tribunals.

For example, we successfully represented an athlete against allegations of doping before the Court of Arbitration for Sport against NADA. We have also appeared in proceedings under the DIS, in the Stockholm arbitration proceedings or ad hoc arbitration tribunals.

We advise shareholders and companies on the acquisition and sale of companies in Europe.

We have successfully advised on a large number of M&A transactions, particularly in the areas of internet start-ups, newspapers and healthcare.
