Overview
Provided by Feigen & Graf
For more than 20 years now, we have been the embodiment of the consummate defence lawyer for all our clients. During this time, our lawyers have been present at almost all major proceedings involving commercial criminal law.
With a total of 27 legal professionals spanning our four locations in Frankfurt, Cologne, Munich and Hamburg, we are the largest law firm in Germany specialising solely in commercial and tax criminal law.
Along with customised advisory services and defence throughout all phases of the proceedings, the main focus of our activities has always been on advising and representing corporates of all sectors – from international groups to SMEs – in the area of criminal law. We guide our clients through crises and solve problems: fast, effective and with a clear resolve.
Another focus area of our firm are compliance investigations. In fact, we are one of the few law firms in Germany specialising in criminal defence that have the experience, resources and the technical expertise to independently conduct complex compliance investigations.
