FOCUSED


In our experience, focusing on specific areas of law not only shortens the processing time, but is simply essential for complex areas of advice.

So we can't do everything. But some.



  • BRANDS & DESIGN

    Today, we are often not just confronted with a brand name, but sounds, colors and design shape entire brand worlds and product experiences.

    Our many years of consulting experience flank your brand and design presence and thus create value. We already accompany you in their conception and further development, support you in the design of a suitable brand strategy and defend your brands and designs in cases of conflict.

  • COMPETITION

    Communication is a sensitive topic, especially with increasing media diversity. Marketers, agencies and retail companies need to know the specific rules of competition in order to stand out without encountering conflicts.

    Whether it is a single advertising measure or an entire business model, we support you in the design and represent you in disputes.

  • PRIVACY

    Data protection and digital progress pose significant challenges for many companies.


    • Do your data protection obligations to third parties stand up to scrutiny?
    • Are your tools GDPR compliant?
    • What personal data are you allowed to collect and when?
    • Which data protection gaps are you perhaps not aware of? 

    We support you with certified legal experts and at the same time try to generate added value for you from the obligation.

  • COPYRIGHT

    Copyright forms the basis for the work of creative people and the cultural and creative industries. But entrepreneurs from other sectors also regularly come into contact with issues in this area.


    We clarify, negotiate, protect and defend these rights, online and offline.

  • SECRETS

    According to the law, information is a trade secret only if it (1) is secret, (2) has commercial value because it is secret, (3) is the subject of reasonable measures of confidentiality, and (4) it has a legitimate interest of secrecy.

    Such own "crown jewels" are often not sufficiently known to companies, nor has a sufficient protection concept been developed.


    We analyze and create your need for action so that your know-how enjoys legal protection and is not lost.

  • ONLINE & IT

    Here in particular, the legal framework is constantly changing due to new technologies and makes corresponding adjustments necessary for online players. New business models also require corresponding contracts with partners and end customers that enable a smooth exchange of services and distribute risks appropriately. An IT contract must establish verifiable claims, provide clarification and organize the project.


    Our understanding of such interrelationships ensures your legal footing. 

  • CONTRACTS

    Our contracts form the backbone of your business relationships. Standardized where possible, customized where necessary. In times of crisis, it shows whether a contract actually covers your processes, services and interests.


    Standardized where possible, individualized where necessary. In times of crisis, it becomes clear whether a contract actually covers your processes, services and interests. 


    We show what is hidden behind legal clauses and negotiate the points that matter.

  • CONFLICTS

    Out-of-court, arbitrational and judicial disputes are special situations with special requirements.


    From internal review and preparation of your own negotiations to rapid legal protection through preliminary injunctions - we advise and represent you at all levels and in all forums.

  • INSOLVENCY

    In this special situation, it is essential to know the legal options and obligations and to reconcile them with entrepreneurial activity. In the best case, the company can be restructured and claims for damages and criminal liability of the decision-maker can be avoided. We support managing directors and their company.


    But fast action is also crucial for creditors:

    Checking and drafting contractual bases for insolvency resistance, advancing and securing the enforcement of your rights and claims.


    We take care of this for you.
