Ways to facilitate
co-operation

Please be active

Since we are dependent on your instructions, we would like to involve you in the decisionmaking process as closely as possible. Please bring all your documents to our very first meeting and provide us subsequently as soon as possible with all documentation and information coming to your possession and/or knowledge thereafter. Albeit court orders, judgments, fines etc., we kindly advise you to provide us with the original documents in due course.

If possible, please write

If possible, please communicate in written form, either per fax or per e-mail. If you prefer to transmit short notices and information by telephone, we kindly ask you to consider the following: our assistants are equal members of our active team. Please share as much information as possible with them and you can be assured that this information will be forwarded to your attorney without delay. Should your attorney not be immediately available, please leave your contact details with our other staff members and your call will be returned within 24 hours.

Please ask

The language of a lawyer is inappropriate if the client does not understand it. Please do not hesitate to raise questions if anything remains unclear. You, as the client, are entitled to obtain full and comprehensive information. Needless to say, you will receive copies of all correspondence in relation to your matter.

Please see us as a team

Please appreciate that our attorneys cannot always be telephonically available, since they frequently appear in court, prepare urgent legal documents or consult with clients. Cases are ideally assigned to the various attorneys according to their specialisation, experience and availability. Upon acceptance of a mandate, an attorney in charge and a representative are designated. This system ensures that a attorney, who is familiar with your case, is always at your disposal.

Our fees

As a rule our fees are calculated on time expenditure, based on an agreed hourly fee.

By means of consistently focussing on solutions when dealing with cases, we strive towards achieving the best possible cost-benefit ratio for our clients.

In many cases, one can expect that legal fees up to the time of damage settlements, possibly over years, are carried by insurance (third party insurance, legal protection insurance, etc.). Should this be the case, there is no need for concern about lawyer`s costs. One of our first steps is to clarify cost coverage by third parties an to inform you of same without delay.

Working Groups

Contact with both ad-hoc working groups can be established through our offices.
