Managing a company in a market that is globalized and highly competitive in many areas is no easy task in itself. Anyone who wants to be successful in the competition for customers and orders in the long term must create trust. More than ever before, when awarding contracts and making purchases, attention is being paid to whether the bidder or the manufacturing or service-providing company clearly communicates legal and ethical standards in its own business area and is effectively committed to complying with these standards. Non-compliance may not only lead to a loss of trust and the loss of orders, but also to fines and penalties being imposed on the company and its executive bodies. Compliance measures are therefore a real success factor for any company.

I will be glad to help you meet the complex and varied requirements of public commercial law and install a compliance management system (CMS) with a reasonable sense of proportion that is tailored to the risk profile and economic interests of your company.

In the event of violations and irregularities, I support you in internal investigations and represent companies and individuals in all legal proceedings.

Managing directors, managers, board members, supervisory board members, authorized signatories and senior executives are often confronted with criminal charges. This is caused not only by constantly increasing legal requirements for compliance in companies, but also by the fact that contractual partners and competitors are increasingly using criminal charges as a means of exerting pressure to enforce their own positions.

In such cases, an attorney specializing in white-collar criminal law is of great value. In addition to my special knowledge in the areas of insolvency criminal law, fraud and breach of trust offenses, competition criminal law and subsidy criminal law, I also bring my experience as a former public prosecutor to work in your favor. With quick comprehension, economic understanding and a meticulous approach, I will work on your behalf to ensure that suspicions are put to the test, the sometimes limited content of extensive opposing pleadings is revealed and complex facts are summarized and made comprehensible for the investigating authorities and courts working under great time pressure.
