COMPREHENSIVE INDIVIDUAL ADVICE
We are a law firm with a commercial focus, acting in association with tax advisors, accountants, engineers, investors, and funding partners.
Our trans-regional advice and support is aimed at mid-market entrepreneurs and medium-sized businesses. Our focus is business and company law and the realisation of reorganisations and restructurings with the takeover of management function.
In addition to supporting and implementing national and international projects we have an extensive network of contacts with investors, banks, investment and M&A companies.
Do you need our help?
You can use our contact form, write us an email or call us.

Our law firm was founded in 2000 and is located in Knesebeckstrasse.
The law firm has been run since that time by attorney-at-law Hans-Jörg Briest who read business economics until 1992 and in 1998, having completed his legal studies at the Humboldt University, passed the Second State Examination in Law.
Thanks to his residence of several years in the USA, right after founding the law firm, he was able to successfully realise international projects and to build up a network active throughout the world.
