Food Law Defence in Germany

In food criminal law investigations, we advise and defend clients in the hospitality sector, the food industry, and food processing businesses during searches (dawn raids), official business and restaurant inspections, and in cases involving the risk of restaurant closures.

We defend clients in criminal and regulatory offence proceedings concerning labelling and hygiene requirements. Allegations may involve placing harmful food on the market, using prohibited substances or mislabelling products. Hygiene deficiencies can also lead to proceedings with substantial commercial consequences.
