1. Scope of These Terms

These terms apply to all visitors, users, and persons who contact the firm through this website. They regulate website use, informational boundaries, and the general framework for pre-mandate communication.

2. Informational Nature of Website Content

Website content is provided for general legal information and orientation only. It does not constitute individual legal advice, legal representation, or a substitute for case-specific review of documents and facts.

3. No Automatic Attorney-Client Relationship

Use of this website, sending an initial enquiry, or transmitting documents does not automatically create an attorney-client relationship (Mandatsverhältnis). A mandate exists only after explicit acceptance by the firm in appropriate form.

4. Inquiries and Response Expectations

Incoming enquiries are reviewed as preliminary contacts. Response times may vary depending on workload, urgency, and completeness of information. The firm does not guarantee immediate review, immediate response, or acceptance of representation.

• Please submit clear facts, relevant dates, and available reference numbers.
• Do not rely on an enquiry submission alone to preserve legal deadlines.
• For urgent limitation or procedural deadlines, seek immediate direct legal assistance.

5. User Responsibilities for Submitted Information

By providing information or documents, you confirm that submissions are accurate to the best of your knowledge, lawfully shared, and do not infringe third-party rights. You remain responsible for the legality and completeness of submitted materials.

6. Confidentiality Before Mandate Acceptance

The firm handles enquiries with professional discretion and data-protection awareness. However, full statutory attorney-client confidentiality protections attach within the legal mandate framework and cannot be presumed solely from first contact before mandate acceptance.

7. Intellectual Property and Content Use

Texts, structure, and published materials on this website are protected by applicable intellectual-property and unfair-competition laws. Reproduction, adaptation, distribution, or commercial reuse requires prior written permission unless mandatory law permits otherwise.

8. External Links Disclaimer

9. Limitation of Liability for General Website Information

Content is prepared with due professional care. Nevertheless, no guarantee is made that all information is complete, current, or error-free at all times. Liability for actions taken solely on the basis of general website information is excluded to the extent permitted by law.

10. Availability and Technical Interruptions

Website availability may be limited by maintenance, security measures, technical faults, or events outside reasonable control. Continuous, uninterrupted, and error-free operation is not guaranteed.

11. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. Where legally permissible and where no mandatory statutory venue applies, place of jurisdiction shall be [Competent Court / Jurisdiction].
