    Good legal education, continuous further training and international experience guarantee optimal client care.

     

    In this respect it is essential to discuss the facts at an early stage, to check the prospects of success, and to keep an eye on costs right from the outset.

     

    Based on a thorough legal analysis, I advise you on solution options and represent you out of court in negotiations with the adverse part and also in court proceedings.
