Specialist lawyers


What sort of guys are they?

Specialized lawyers have extensive training and experience in their respective field of law and must meet certain requirements to be certified as specialized lawyers. In Germany, lawyers must first complete a general legal education and then work in their specialty for at least three years. Specialized lawyers are then awarded the title of specialized lawyer in the respective field after demonstrating theoretical training and practical experience. A large number of our lawyers are appropriately qualified.

The advantages of a specialist lawyer are manifold. On the one hand, a specialist lawyer offers comprehensive expertise in his field of law, which enables him to represent the interests of his clients in a targeted manner. On the other hand, a specialist lawyer can often work faster and more effectively than a general lawyer in special legal matters within his field of expertise, since he deals particularly with a specific field of law and has a deep understanding of the relevant laws and procedures.

Clients also benefit from a specialist lawyer, as they can be sure that their concerns are handled by a lawyer who has acquired in-depth knowledge in the respective field of law. In addition, specialist lawyers often have a network of specialists in their field that they can draw on to solve complex cases. In our law firm, many specialist areas are covered by several lawyers, in order to be able to reflect this professional exchange within the firm itself.

Another advantage of specialist lawyers is that they are often regarded as competent and trustworthy experts by the courts and authorities. This can be advantageous in certain cases, as it can help to ensure that the case is processed more quickly and effectively.

Specialized lawyers are subject to special continuing education requirements.

The continuing education requirement is an important part of maintaining a specialist law practice. Specialist lawyers must regularly take part in further training. The continuing education requirement is regulated in the Specialist Lawyers' Act (FAO). According to this, specialist lawyers must take part in at least 15 hours of further training in their field of specialization in each calendar year. The content of the further training must be related to the respective field of law and include a practical and theoretical deepening of the specialist knowledge. Proof of fulfillment must be provided annually to the bar association. The obligation to continue training also has sanctions in the event of non-fulfillment. Those who do not fulfill the obligation to continue training can lose their specialist lawyer title.
