We have started with a strong background in labor law, as we have been employers ourselves but also been employed. There is no side and happening we have not seen yet.

But here comes the thing – we have grown over the course of our professional lives to deal with any problem you have. IP infringement? Easy. Sponsoring deal? Easy. Investment round? Easy. M&A? Below easy. Litigation in any field? Easy. Really, being an attorney & advisor is just a game and we are killing it

Our Service Overview
Although we like keeping a long, healthy and successful relationship with our clients, we can provide you with pin-point advice for your on-going case. This is the more classic and
old-fashioned approach of being an attorney. This service will be done on an hourly basis.
Our legal counsel will be the right thing for you to get, if you are just not the type of company getting advice in the first place (and this somehow worked for you!). But here and then, there are big challenges, lawsuits, internal conflicts where our efficiency will be your solution.
Our legal counsel will also be the right thing for you, if you want to setup a business but just don’t know when and how to start – but once given a working environment, you want to move forward alone. We will together design your whole business plan and then help you make your experience and first steps as a business owner.
For the heavily troubled, who just do not see any way out and are on the verge of giving up, our service will absolutely be the right thing for you.
This is the core of our service. If we are going to maintain a good and fruitful relationship, it will be a waste of our time and your money if we have to work for and with you on an hourly basis. We love fixed retainers. Budget security and control for you, easier life and more time for us. This engagement plan contains a fixed amount of monthly hours that we will exclusively reserve for you and your business.
Full accessibility (we will join your Slack, Discord, LINE groups, Whatsapp, anything for fast communication)
There are no boundaries in terms of availability and response time (Consider us part of your leadership team, your business is our business)
Business mindset (We will always approach projects with a legally empowered business mindset seeking growth and success)
Real guidance (No bullshitting, clear action plans, YES or NO and never ever “depends”)
This service will definitely be something for you, if you need a long-term partner in crime. Someone, who you can always reach out to and talk about anything your business encounters. This service plan is the right plan for you, if you want to grow together and share experiences as founders and business owners. There is so much more to collaboration on this level – find it out.
This is really the full package. There is no more. Consider us your interim Director (manager, call it whatever you want). We will build your complete legal department from scratch, implement protocols, guidelines and most importantly make it a legal department that is a) efficient and friendly (no business stopper) and b) loved by everyone in your company. We can apply this to your whole business. There are no boundaries to us.
This is 100% for you, if you are a startup, you have big plans and a vision, you have a great team already but somehow the only thing that does not work well is your legal department (if any) or your legal coverage overall (collab with external counsel, your in house legal professionals). Promised – we make it work.
This will also be something if you are an established and successful company already – outside of Germany and now want to expand globally.
