In periods of tight state budgets at all levels, the control and organisation of social coexistence is effected less and less by the (more cost-intensive) promotion of socially desirable behaviour, and increasingly by the (more cost-effective) creation of new forms of illegality.

This so-called legalisation of all the actions of individuals, companies and institutions entails the increasing danger of conflict with the law and the associated penalties.

The modem means of resolution of such legal conflicts therefore begins, in my view, with consultation on the avoidance of such actions which are contrary to criminal law.

The avoidance of such preliminary hearings is an economic factor not to be underestimated where companies are concerned. Criminal law management for companies and their legally responsible executives has in recent years become an essential instrument, e.g. in the area of environmental law, subsidy law and tax law.

In addition to personal consultation with individuals, this also includes the establishment and optimisation of company and business procedures with regard to legal risks, together with the appropriate training of staff.

This consultation service is complemented by co-operation with legal experts in other fields, including tax consultants / auditors and business consultants.

In addition to the development of such avoidance strategies, my main area of activity consists of consultation and representation in "emergency cases", i.e. criminal proceedings.

Indictment for criminal behaviour, whether on financial grounds (fraud, embezzlement), handling or all forms of so-called commercial negligence requires expert, enthusiastic and rapid support before, outside and during legal proceedings.

Our ongoing training and experience and rapid response ensure short processing times and on-the-spot representation.
