A second look.
Before it is too late.
File review and written assessment.
A partner reviews the file and answers in writing: how strong is the evidence, what are the risks, does the current strategy hold, and what are the alternatives? We discuss the assessment with you and, if you wish, with your defence lawyer. The fee depends on the size of the file; you receive a fixed range before we start.
Before decisions that cannot be undone.
Typical moments are a proposed plea agreement (section 257c StPO), a statement on the merits, an offer to discontinue against conditions, a voluntary disclosure in tax matters, or the one-week window after a judgment. For foreign companies whose managers face proceedings in Germany, a second opinion is often the quickest way to understand where things stand.
Second opinion, briefly explained.
Do I have to change my lawyer?
No. The second opinion is independent of your current mandate. Whether you continue, add or change counsel is entirely your decision.
Will my current lawyer be informed?
Only if you wish. We work collegially, not against other defence lawyers.
