Engineering your legal position.
Legal advice for manufacturers, suppliers, integrators and industrial users. Our team combines legal qualifications with engineering and scientific expertise in part of the team. This helps us understand technical facts, identify the relevant evidence and translate complex projects into clear legal positions.
From product development to dispute resolution
We advise on machinery contracts, product safety, software, electronics, industrial AI and connected products. We consider contract allocation, regulatory obligations and the practical operation of a system together.
International supply chains demand clear responsibility for specifications, interfaces, acceptance, documentation, updates and access to data. We help businesses address these issues before delivery and respond when a project encounters difficulties.
Technical facts. Clear arguments.
Engineering and scientific qualifications within the team support a close working relationship with your engineers and independent experts. The legal assessment remains specific to your product, business role and target market. We do not replace testing laboratories or conformity assessment bodies.
A strategy for resolving your dispute
Negotiation, mediation, expert determination, litigation and arbitration serve different purposes. We assess urgency, evidence, limitation periods, commercial relationships and enforceability before recommending a route.
Germany-wide advice with international reach
Our principal office is in Hannover, with nine branch offices across Germany. We work with foreign counsel where advice on another jurisdiction is required. English-language advice concerns German and applicable European law; foreign-law issues are coordinated with appropriately qualified advisers.
