The practice

Three areas where a foreign case in Germany most often turns.

Cross-border matters rarely fit neatly into one country's rules. These are the situations we handle most, for clients who cannot simply walk into a German courthouse themselves.

01 — Family

Divorce & Family Law

Married to a German citizen, living in Germany, or with children there? We handle divorce, matrimonial asset division, spousal and child support, custody and visitation — so a foreign complication does not become a lasting disadvantage.

02 — Estates

Inheritance & Probate

German inheritance and probate rules differ sharply from those abroad and are hard to manage from overseas. We deal with the probate court, co-heirs and tax authorities, secure your certificate of inheritance and collect what is due to you.

03 — Commercial

Debt Collection & Litigation

Pursuing a claim across borders is difficult without someone on the ground. We enforce claims, defend commercial disputes and draft the contracts and agreements that keep you a step ahead of debtors in Germany.

Representation in and out of court — anywhere in Germany
A steady hand in unfamiliar territory

German procedure is exacting. That is exactly the point.

German courts and authorities run on precise forms, strict deadlines and their own language. Handled from abroad and in a second language, a small misstep quickly becomes an expensive one. Our job is to carry that weight for you — correctly, the first time.

Working cases all over Germany

We specialise in cross-border cases for clients around the world and represent them in court or out of court anywhere in Germany. Attorney Andreas Langner is admitted before local, district and higher regional courts throughout Germany, and has argued cases in the courts of every major German city for clients from many different countries.
