Frequently asked questions before an initial conversation

1Do I need a specialized lawyer in my case?
If criminal proceedings are imminent or ongoing, if the tax office is unusually critical or if there are liability risks – then legal advice is essential.
2How discreetly will my request be handled?
Absolute confidentiality is a matter of course for us. Especially when it comes to sensitive topics such as tax evasion, voluntary disclosure, white-collar crime or liability issues.
3How does the first conversation go ahead?
We discuss your situation in a structured way. Don't worry: you don't have to bring a complete file with you. The aim is an initial legal assessment and developing a possible strategy.
4Do you have experience with cases like mine?
Very likely: We are constantly involved in criminal proceedings, tax disputes, voluntary disclosures, compliance advice and proceedings before fiscal and civil courts.
5Can you help in the short term?
Yes. In urgent cases – such as a search, arrest, deadlines or acute conflicts with authorities – we are immediately ready for action.
6Do you work with my tax advisor (Steuerberater)?
Yes, if you wish so. In many cases, cooperation with the tax advisor is essential.
7Do you also advise individuals?
Yes. We represent private individuals as well as companies, managing directors, shareholders, tax advisors, and supervisory bodies.
