The solution of your problems and the protection of your interests is our task and vocation. I will advise you and provide you with advice and assistance in drafting letters and contracts, enforcing claims and defending against unjustified claims and answering legal questions in general. I also represent you before courts and authorities, as well as in negotiations with customers, business partners, neighbors and third parties. The aim is always to achieve the best result for you.

As a notary, I also advise you on all notarization issues, draw up public deeds, such as marriage and inheritance contracts, wills, preliminary contracts for property purchases or the formation or transformation of companies and support you in the implementation of such contracts. Advice is particularly important in this area.

Advice
It is often better, easier, quicker and cheaper to find out about the legal situation and the various options before concluding a contract or taking business steps than to correct a mistake afterwards. Only those who are aware of the possible consequences can make the right decisions and take the right action. You should therefore seek advice about your rights and the risks. Consulting a lawyer at an early stage can improve the initial situation and prevent a legal dispute later on.

Planning
It is not always just a matter of reacting. We are often required to act, i.e. to plan in advance and coordinate our approach. I can help you develop strategies or a business concept, set the course for a development or a desired goal and create a basis for decision-making for later action.

Execution
I draft contracts according to your wishes or revise existing contracts. Let me inform you about your rights. Afterwards, however, it is also important to enforce agreements, assert claims and defend against unjustified claims.

Representation
Whether in negotiations with third parties, when concluding contracts or before authorities or courts: committed and competent representation of your concerns is the responsibility of your lawyer. I will protect your interests in all extrajudicial and official proceedings.

Litigation
Although the search for amicable solutions should always be a priority, proceedings before authorities and courts cannot always be avoided. In addition to the substantive assertion or defense of claims, the formal requirements of proceedings must always be met. Last but not least, the litigation risk must also be assessed, as those who are right are not always right, and those who are right still bear a cost risk.

Administration
When it comes to managing assets, a business or a property, your lawyer can help you. Whether he takes over the administration himself or supports or monitors an existing administration. For example, as secretary or member of a board of directors or as a shareholder representative at a general meeting, he can protect the interests of a company and the shareholders involved, ensure compliance with the formal requirements and the articles of association and support you in all legal and notarial matters. As executor and administrator of the estate, the lawyer is able to ensure that your last will is enforced, that spouses or other heirs are entitled to their rights and that the estate is used carefully and in accordance with your wishes.

Protecting your interests

The entire work of your lawyer can be summarized under
the term safeguarding interests. From
advice to planning to implementation, your wishes and interests are at the forefront. But the realization and enforcement of these interests and the defense against dangers and risks are also part of your lawyer's tasks.
