White Collar Defence Lawyer in Germany

RATH HAGEN represents clients throughout Germany before the competent public prosecutors’ offices and courts. Personal consultations are available at our offices in Berlin and Düsseldorf. Representation takes place regardless of the firm’s office location.

During an initial consultation, we discuss the situation, the procedural stage and the potential need for advice or defence. The meeting can take place in Berlin or Düsseldorf or via Zoom. If you decide to instruct us, we provide the necessary engagement documents, in particular the power of attorney and fee agreement.
