Services
A short, honest list of what we actually do for you.
Each engagement begins with a fixed-fee first consultation so you know exactly where you stand before deciding anything.
02
Consumer rights
Faulty goods, cancelled travel, unfair contract terms and disputes with online retailers or service providers.
Most consumer claims in Germany are well protected by statute.
03
Contracts & agreements
We read, explain and draft everyday contracts — from purchase and service agreements to private loans between family members.
A clear contract today prevents an expensive dispute later.
04
Tenancy & housing
Rent increases, deposits, terminations, repairs and service-charge statements for tenants and small private landlords.
Deadlines matter — speak to us before you sign or reply.
05
Inheritance & wills
Wills, succession, compulsory shares and the practical steps an estate requires after a death in the family.
A short conversation now can spare your family years of conflict.
