I had the pleasure of receiving counsel from Mr. Briest and colleagues on a few delicate corporate matters related to my small business, including the transfer of shares as well as negotiating a commercial lease agreement. While I am certain his firm advises larger, more important clients than myself, he was nonetheless always available to answer our questions, not to mention providing all support in English. Mr. Briest is generous with his time, energy, good humor, and my business partner and I are absolutely satisfied with the results of all legal matters for which we have retained his services. German corporate law is an intimidating beast- even for Germans, but especially for foreigners like myself- but thanks to his counsel I am always confident the best possible outcome will be achieved.
