We are notaries and lawyers

In labour disputes, psychology often plays a decisive role – be it in negotiations with the employee or the works council, in court, in the conciliation board, at the integration office, the state office for occupational safety or the Federal Employment Agency. We are familiar with both the entrepreneurial perspectives and the perspectives of judges. We understand the positions of employers and employees and have the necessary empathy to achieve the best possible negotiation results for you while maintaining the efficiency of your operational processes.

We know how to use the diversity of labour law regulations and indeterminate legal terms to your advantage, to expand and exploit your scope of action.

We help to build the legal bridge between financing needs and investments. We are familiar with the perspective of both the capital-seeking companies and the capital providers.

In the area of project and corporate finance, we draw on a wealth of experience built up over many years. We support our clients in negotiating traditional bank loans and loan securities as well as in the integration of private equity. The possibilities for this are manifold. Instead of granting entrepreneurial participations, for example, participation rights, option bonds, silent participations or simply profit-participating loans can be the means of choice for involving investors in the financing on a permanent or temporary basis. In the case of international financing, the appointment of security trustees can be helpful. And for ongoing corporate financing, leasing technical equipment and using factoring can prove to be a sensible addition.

It is important to set the right course in good time. And so it is good to have a competent legal advisor on board at an early stage to help you design your financing concept, draft contracts and generally serve as a sounding board. This is precisely what we see as our role.

We also have many years of experience in advising banks on the granting of large-volume special loans. These may be, for example, non-recourse loans that are secured by unusual collateral. The provision of such collateral, its storage, cross-border transport, insurance and realisation, as well as the refinancing of such transactions, present their own contractual challenges. In order to meet these challenges quickly and across a wide range of legal systems, we work closely with our international network partners.

We create the legal framework for your business.

Inheritance law concerns everyone – sooner or later! There is hardly any other area of law that offers you as many possibilities for individualised arrangements as inheritance law. We highlight these possibilities and work with you to develop tailored solutions. Anyone who takes responsibility, be it for their company, their assets or their family, thinks about what happens if the worst comes to the worst. We help you to design an optimised succession plan for your personal circumstances – and to do that, we take time for detailed discussions.

How can your spouse or partner be reliably protected?
How do I make the best use of tax allowances?
Where are the legal pitfalls?

In many cases, it makes sense to transfer assets to your partner or children during your lifetime, and timing plays an important role here:
every donee is entitled to tax-free allowances again after 10 years, so it is worth starting to transfer assets on an ongoing basis early on.

But even then, the question arises as to how the donor can be protected against unexpected risks?
Our goal is to work with you to create a clear and fair succession plan that ensures that disputes within the family are avoided.

But even after the inheritance has occurred, difficult legal questions often arise that need to be resolved quickly.

We are there for you in a spirit of trust.

Wir schaffen den rechtlichen Rahmen, damit aus Ideen erfolgreiche Produkte werden.

We create the legal framework for ideas to become successful products.
Modern business models are idea-driven. Intellectual property is an increasingly important asset for our clients.
Since ideas as such do not enjoy any legal protection, we help you to secure your intellectual capital (or that of your company) at an early stage by means of non-disclosure agreements and provisions in contracts for work and services.
We register trademarks and designs for you and take care of priority documentation for copyrights. For technical developments, we help you find patent attorneys who are truly familiar with your field of technology.
Good products often have many mothers and fathers. To avoid disputes later on about who can reap the rewards of product development, we draft custom-fit research and development contracts and cooperation agreements.
And we have extensive experience in the licensing of rights.

Corporate law – practical solutions, state of the art.
We see ourselves as lawyers for medium-sized enterprises. Our aim is to find practical solutions for you that are legally up to date.

Our range of services includes company formations, advice on articles of association, shareholder agreements and financing agreements, support with capital increases and the conversion of companies, as well as representation in corporate disputes. And even though the best legal dispute is one that does not have to be fought, our lawyers have a wealth of experience in shareholder disputes and arbitration proceedings.

We take a long-term view: we want to build a relationship with you based on trust so that we can understand your goals and needs as well as possible.

As lawyers for people who deal with real estate issues, we represent you competently in all areas of real estate law. We not only provide you with comprehensive support in legal disputes, but it is our goal to avoid such disputes in advance for you, our clients, through good contracts, committed negotiations and forward-looking designs.

With this in mind, we support you in concluding real estate contracts of all kinds, such as purchase, donation, lease and rental contracts or agreements under the law of neighbours, e.g. when the neighbouring construction project causes problems or you yourself are planning changes on your property. But we also deal with questions regarding the transfer of real estate to the next generation, the legal design of real estate divisions, the energy-efficient renovation of real estate and the handling of shared use, vegetation and boundaries of properties.

For Be:Right, a case is only closed when the agreement has been made and implemented on the basis of sound legal expertise or when the case has been completely closed. We work together and in a problem-oriented manner, act purposefully and always have your interests in mind.

The healthcare sector is characterised by a particularly high level of regulation due to constantly changing laws, ordinances, guidelines and other provisions. Therefore, for healthcare providers, compliance with the standards applicable to them is the best protection against financially disadvantageous consequences and measures by the professional courts.

Seeking legal advice is an effective way of preventing civil or criminal liability. We explain the legal norms that apply to you in a way that you can understand and implement them in a practical way.

We advise doctors and dentists on the design and conclusion of practice purchase agreements, on the acquisition of company shares, on the establishment and management of professional practice communities and on the many issues that regularly arise in the day-to-day running of a practice. And we represent you in court in the event of liability cases.
Health data protection is not only relevant in your daily practice. The correct handling of this data also determines whether you have effectively assigned your fee claim to a billing service provider or factoring company and can expect payment of your invoice.

Correct compliance with the legal requirements for health data protection also determines whether your practice purchase agreement is effective and whether you are entitled to payment of the purchase price.

Real estate is an important part of all our lives. We rent apartments to be able to develop privately there. We rent business premises to realise our business ideas there. We buy apartments to live in ourselves or to rent out. Or we buy real estate to do business there ourselves or to rent it out to tradespeople.

The drafting of contracts under tenancy law is subject to constantly changing legislation and case law. However, a carefully drafted lease agreement is a decisive advantage for the management and profitability of a property. We keep track of things for you.

With our combination of entrepreneurial perspective and in-depth industry knowledge, we are your partner for designing and securing this important part of your life, securing returns and avoiding losses.

Insurers are obliged to carefully check claims made in the interest of the community of insured persons. This serves the purpose of keeping premiums as low as possible for all policyholders.

In 2010, a book by a law professor was published in the United States with the title "Delay, Deny, Defend". The subtitle read: "Why Insurance Companies don't pay claims and waht you can do about it."

Enforcing claims against an insurer can be very challenging in our country as well.

We will be happy to check for you whether an insurance claim exists, whether all obligations have been met and what rights you are entitled to. We will also support you in successfully asserting your claims in and out of court.

Good contracts serve one purpose alone: to prevent disputes. To achieve this, you not only have to consider your own interests, but also know and be able to assess those of the other party.

Different interests can be fairly balanced during negotiations. We will be at your side, representing you in negotiations and taking care of drafting the contracts.

It is important that the rights and duties of each contractual partner are clearly and unambiguously defined.

We draft, review and negotiate all types of contracts for and with you in all areas of law, including cross-border, and we draft them on the basis of experience, legal knowledge and linguistic precision in such a way that the conditions for good business are sustainably created for you. Room to manoeuvre. And we, as your business lawyers, use them.
