OUR SERVICEes
LEGAL ADVICE FROM A SINGLE SOURCE
Traditionally, our core competences lie in the areas of commercial law, corporate law, maritime trade and transport law, labour law, intellectual property law and real estate law. Auf diesen Rechtsgebieten betreuen wir unsere Mandanten mit Hilfe schlagkräftiger, standortübergreifender Rechtsanwaltsteams.
Wir sind sowohl beratend tätig als auch als Prozessanwälte in Gerichts- und Schiedsverfahren. In addition, we offer a specialised and experienced notary's office in Bremen for a comprehensive service.
We see our task as providing comprehensive commercial law advice to nationally and internationally operating companies.
We are familiar with the requirements that international projects entail and have a network of experienced colleagues that we regularly involve in international legal issues. We are happy to coordinate the information that our colleagues from different countries provide us with during the realisation of your project.
In many cases, we act as an outsourced legal department and offer legal advice from a single source. In the areas that we do not cover ourselves with specialised lawyers, we rely on experienced colleagues from our network.
Many of our client relationships have existed for decades. Our clients operate in a wide variety of industries. We consider the resulting industry knowledge to be an essential prerequisite for successful legal work.
Forward-looking advice to avoid problems and interdisciplinary support for our clients' demanding projects are integral parts of our services.
